Hence if there are 2 instances of your decision algorithm in Green rooms, there are 2 runs of your decision algorithm, and if they vote to steal there is a loss of 3 from each red and gain 1 for each green, for a total gain of 12-318 = - 52.
If there are 18 instances in Green rooms, there are 18 runs of your decision algorithm, and if they vote to steal there is a loss of 3 from each red and a gain of 1for each green, for a total gain of 118-23 = 12
The "committal of a group of" is noting that there are 2 or 18 runs of your decision algorithm that are logically forced by the decision made this specific instance of the decision algorithm in a green room.
