We consider the method of Socratic proofs (SP-method). SP-method enables a formal explication of the idea of solving logical problems (i.e problems of entailment/ derivability/ theoremhood) by pure questioning, that is, by transforming the relevant initial question into consecutive questions without making any use of answers to the questions just transformed. Our aim is to give a method of tran...

In traditional game theory, players are typically endowed with exogenously given knowledge of the structure of the game—either full omniscient knowledge or partial but fixed information. In real life, however, people are often unaware of the utility of taking a particular action until they perform research into its consequences.
