Counterfactuals and Updates as Inverse Modalities (preliminary Version)

چکیده
We point out a simple but hitherto ignored link between the theory of updates and counterfactuals and classical modal logic: update is a classical existential modality, counterfactual is a classical universal modality, and the link between the two (called the Ramsey rule) is simply the link between two inverse accessibility relations of a classical Kripke model.

Counterfactuals and Updates as Inverse Modalities
We point out a simple but hitherto ignored link between the theory of updates and counterfactuals and classical modal logic: update is a classical existential modality, counterfactual is a classical universal modality, and the link between the two (called the Ramsey rule) is simply the link between two inverse accessibility relations of a classical Kripke model. 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n B a c ...
متن کاملIntertranslating Counterfactuals and Updates
We recall that the Ramsey Rule can be seen as axiomatising the relationship of inverse accessibility relations which exists between the notions of update and counterfactual conditional. We use this fact to translate between postulates for updates and postulates for counterfactuals. Thus, Katsuno/Mendelzon's postulates U1{U8 are translated into counterfactual postulates C1{C8 (theorem 6), and ma...

متن کاملLearning without Counterfactuals
In this paper we study learning procedures when counterfactuals (payo s of not-chosen actions) are not observed. The decision maker reasons in two steps: First, she updates her propensities for each action after every payo experience, where propensity is de ned as how much she prefers each action. Then, she transforms these propensities into choice probabilities. We introduce natural axioms in ...
متن کاملCan the performance effects of upward counterfactual thoughts be attributed to effort mobilization
Upward counterfactual thoughts identify how a previous outcome could have turned out better. Research has found that such thoughts are associated with intentions to improve on subsequent performance outcomes. The present dissertation proposes a new self-evaluation model of upward counterfactual thinking which reasons that upward counterfactual thinking is closely tied to self-evaluation and sel...
