  2. ``..eventually, when you put enough feelingless calculations together in a huge coordinated organization, you’ll get something that has properties on another level. You can see it .... as a system of tendencies and desires and beliefs and so on’’ Hofstadter, 1981, Scientific American Agents’ Paradigm

  24. E (Friends) Happy?

  25. Common Knowledge • Ej: Everybody knows j • Ej  EEj • Cj: it is Common Knowledge that j • idea: Cj = Ej & EEj & EEEj & EEEEj & ….. • so: ¬Cj if somebody • considers it possible that • somebody considers it possible that somebody considers it possible that …………. j does not hold

  26. Enemies “The message is, that There are known knowns, there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns, that is to say, there are things that we now know, we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns—there are things we do not know we don’t know. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.’’ Play

  27. Foot in Mouth Award • “Despite Mr. Rumsfeld’s rather outlandish mode of speaking, fans of the though-talking US defence secretary argue he is misunderstood.”

  28. Knowledge, Rationality, Action • Knowledge • about world, other’s knowledge, & rationality • uncertainty, beliefs, suspicion • dynamic aspects: updating, learning • Rationality • optimize utilities, do what is best/most economic • Action • emphasis on choice • abilities: physical (robots), computational • epistemic actions
