Ambient Decision Theory

Edited by Vladimir_Nesov, et al. last updated 29th Mar 2012

A variant of updateless decision theory that uses first order logic instead of mathematical intuition module (MIM), emphasizing the way an agent can control which mathematical structure a fixed definition defines, an aspect of UDT separate from its own emphasis on not making the mistake of updating away things one can still acausally control.
