10 Theorem (Thompson) Each of the previous transformations preserves the reduced strategic form of the game. In finite extensive games (without uncertainty between subhistories), if any two games have the same reduced normal form then one can be obtained from the other by a sequence of the four transformations.

13 Games as Processes When are two processes the same? Extensive games are natural process models which support many familiar modal logics such as bisimulation. Logic and Artificial Intelligence 11/27

14 Games as Processes When are two processes the same? Extensive games are natural process models which support many familiar modal logics such as bisimulation.

16 Game Algebra Definition Two games γ 1 and γ 2 are equivalent provided E γ1 = E γ2 in all models (iff γ 1 p γ 2 p is valid for a p which occurs neither in γ 1 nor in γ 2. ) Logic and Artificial Intelligence 12/27

17 Game Algebra Definition Two games γ 1 and γ 2 are equivalent provided E γ1 = E γ2 in all models (iff γ 1 p γ 2 p is valid for a p which occurs neither in γ 1 nor in γ 2. ) Logic and Artificial Intelligence 12/27

18 Game Algebra Game Boards: Given a set of states or positions B, for each game g and each player i there is an associated relation E i g B 2 B : pe i g T holds if in position p, i can force that the outcome of g will be a position in T. (monotonicity) if pe i g T and T U then pe i g U (consistency) if pe i g T then not pe 1 i g (B T ) Given a game board (a set B with relations Eg i for each game and player), we say that two games g, h (g h) are equivalent if Eg i = Eh i for each i.

27 Rationality in Interaction What does it mean to be rational when the outcome of one s action depends upon the actions of other people and everyone is trying to guess what the others will do? Logic and Artificial Intelligence 16/27

28 Rationality in Interaction What does it mean to be rational when the outcome of one s action depends upon the actions of other people and everyone is trying to guess what the others will do? In social interaction, rationality has to be enriched with further assumptions about individuals mutual knowledge and beliefs, but these assumptions are not without consequence. C. Bicchieri. Rationality and Game Theory. Chapter 10 in Handbook of Rationality. Logic and Artificial Intelligence 16/27

29 Key Assumptions CK1 The structure of the game, including players strategy sets and payoff functions, is common knowledge among the players. CK2 The players are rational (i.e., they are expected utility maximizers) and this is common knowledge. Logic and Artificial Intelligence 17/27
