....clarified enough to give any hint on how this could be established. The approach is also problematical from other aspects, cf. Ekenberg and Thorbirnson, 1997] Isaac Levi uses a similar approach, which has become popular also for researchers studying utility based artificial agents (see, e.g. [Stirling, 1994]) giving three conditions that a set of probability measures B must satisfy. 6 These imply (among other things) that the probability distributions in B for a given state of nature form an interval. He notices that some authors have presupposed such an interval in their theories, but concludes ....

....and over the last ten years, decision theory has become increasingly more important, especially to the latter. Papers on game theory ( 44] 42] rational meta reasoning [45] autonomous agent co operation [3] formal decision analysis [11] 9] and even a return to classical decision methods [50] have appeared. Rational decision making is weakly defined in [48] as the process of choosing among a finite number of acts by a series of steps that (i) lists the acts, ii) determines all their consequences, and (iii) makes a comparative evaluation. Although the definition is of little use as ....

....is defined as a transformation that conveys the knowledge from higher types, in the hierarchy, into the lower types and finally into the ground type. The final ground knowledge is the basis for determining the final intention. Similar ideas of knowledge transformations may be found in [7] 13] [14] where a special kind of agent rationality is considered, namely Bayesian rationality. However, the idea of the ground type is not distinguished explicitly there. Moreover, in all the above papers only, a so called, static case is considered, that is, agents take actions only once. The dynamic ....
