Rational decisions in non-probabilistic setting
... In this talk The knowledge-based rational decision model (KBR-model) offers an approach to rational decision making in a nonprobabilistic setting, e.g., in perfect information games with deterministic payoffs. The KBR-model is an epistemically explicit form of standard game-theoretical assumptions, ...

How Do We Know That Evolution Has Occurred?

Continuous evolution over many generations can result in the development of new varieties and species. Likewise, f ...
