25. The definition of ε in Eq. (1) is similar to the variables θ defined in Ref. [19] and H in Ref. [20] in analyses of the MG within a spin-glass-type formalism.
26. 2m strategies is used in the numerical studies. If a reduced strategy space is used, the fraction of points on the emerged straight line is about 12.6%.
