Economists call an incentive to mimic the strategies of others strategic complementarity.

Wave-particle duality is an example of the principle of complementarity in quantum physics.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This complementarity has come to be known as the wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics.

Where others find a conflict between science and faith, Mayo sees a glorious complementarity.

- A relation between two opposite states or principles that together exhaust the possibilities
- The interrelation of reciprocity whereby one thing supplements or depends on the other; "the complementarity of the sexes"
- In molecular biology, complementarity is a property of double-stranded nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA as well as DNA:RNA duplexes. Each strand is complementary to the other in that the base pairs between them are non-covalently connected via two or three hydrogen bonds.
- In physics, complementarity is both a theoretical and an experimental result of quantum mechanics, also referred to as principle of complementarity, closely associated with the Copenhagen interpretation. It holds that objects have complementary properties which cannot be observed or measured at all at the same time.
- The state of being complementary
- (Complementarities) the potential for mutually reinforcing effects when one or more business practices are operated in parallel or simultaneously. Practices are said to be complementary when doing more of one increases the returns for doing more of another.
- Necessary co-existence, inseparable pairs. The universe is inherently complementary, such as in concave-convex, positive-negative, male-female. "Unity is inherently plural". (Buckminster Fuller)
- A condition where the component instruments of a strategy have a greater beneficial effect than any instrument on its own
- The sequence-specific or shape-specific recognition that occurs when two or more molecules bind together. DNA forms double stranded helixes because the complementary orientation of the bases in each strand facilitate the formation of the hydrogen bonds which hold the strands together.
