Revision Forever!

چکیده
Revision is a method to deal with non-monotonic processes. It has been used in theory of truth an an answer to semantic paradoxes as the liar, but the idea is universal and resurfaces in many areas of logic and applications of logic. In this survey, we describe the general idea in the framework of pointer semantics and point out that beyond the formal semantics given by Gupta and Belnap, the process of revision itself and its behaviour may be the central features that allow us to model our intuitions about truth, and is applicable to a lot of other areas like belief, rationality, and many more.

To this aim, we propose a framework for changing the agent’s mind without erasing forever previous information, thus allowing its recovery in case the change turns out to be wrong. In this new framework, a piece of information is r...
متن کاملThe Tail that Keeps the Riskless Rate Low
Riskless interest rates fell in the wake of the financial crisis and have remained low. We explore a simple explanation: This recession was perceived as an extremely unlikely event before 2007. Observing such an episode led all agents to re-assess macro risk, in particular, the probability of tail events. Since changes in beliefs endure long after the event itself has passed, perceived tail ris...
