A review of cancer across the tree of life as cheating within multicellular cooperation. The companion cites it for the view of cancer as a cell lineage that defects from the body's cooperative contract and feeds on its subsidy. This is the biological analog of an agent that covertly uses its principal's compute, the endoparasitic route to the wild in prediction 1.
