COMMENTS

Row sums are signed factorials :

{1, -1, 2, -6, 24, -120, 720, -5040, 40320, -362880, 3628800,...}

The model of a pyramid of games matrix polynomial is the motive for these polynomials.

It appear that the diffusion velocity on the domain {x,0,1}:

v=D[p[x,n],{x,2}]/(2*D[p[x,n],x])

has a collapse point foe n>=3 past x=0.5 that gets larger as n increases.

If we look at x as a probability measure of social activity,

and the velocity as how fast the changes take place,

then large amounts of social activity can cause a pyramidal

game social structure to collapse.

FORMULA

p(x,n) = Product[ -k - x + x^k, {k, 1, n}];

t(n,k)=Coefficients(p(x,n))
