  2. Allais paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allais_paradox

    Recent studies [7] have indicated an alternate explanation to the certainty effect called the zero effect. The zero effect is a slight adjustment to the certainty effect that states individuals will appeal to the lottery that doesn't have the possibility of winning nothing (aversion to zero). During prior Allais style tasks that involve two ...

  3. Intuitionistic logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuitionistic_logic

    For example, any theorem of classical propositional logic of the form has a proof consisting of an intuitionistic proof of followed by one application of double-negation elimination. Intuitionistic logic can thus be seen as a means of extending classical logic with constructive semantics.

  4. Binary symmetric channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_symmetric_channel

    The intuition behind the proof is however showing the number of errors to grow rapidly as the rate grows beyond the channel capacity. The idea is the sender generates messages of dimension k {\displaystyle k} , while the channel BSC p {\displaystyle {\text{BSC}}_{p}} introduces transmission errors.

  5. Criteria of truth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criteria_of_truth

    Formal logic and mathematical rules are examples of rigorous consistency. An example would be: if all As are Bs and all Bs are Cs, then all As are Cs. While this standard is of high value, it is limited. For example, the premises are a priori (or self-apparent), requiring another test of truth to employ this criterion. Additionally, strict ...

  6. Logical reasoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_reasoning

    The types of logical reasoning differ concerning the exact norms they use as well as the certainty of the conclusion they arrive at. [1] [15] Deductive reasoning offers the strongest support and implies its conclusion with certainty, like mathematical proofs. For non-deductive reasoning, the premises make the conclusion more likely but do not ...

  7. Zero-knowledge proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof

    Zero-knowledge proofs can be interactive, meaning that the prover and verifier exchange messages according to some protocol, or noninteractive, meaning that the verifier is convinced by a single prover message and no other communication is needed. In the standard model, interaction is required, except for trivial proofs of BPP problems. [3]

  8. Truth-default theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth-default_theory

    Truth-default theory (TDT) is a communication theory which predicts and explains the use of veracity and deception detection in humans. It was developed upon the discovery of the veracity effect - whereby the proportion of truths versus lies presented in a judgement study on deception will drive accuracy rates.

  9. Logical intuition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_intuition

    Logical Intuition, or mathematical intuition or rational intuition, is a series of instinctive foresight, know-how, and savviness often associated with the ability to perceive logical or mathematical truth—and the ability to solve mathematical challenges efficiently. [1]
