  2. Rational irrationality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_irrationality

    Rational irrationality is not doublethink and does not state that the individual deliberately chooses to believe something he or she knows to be false. Rather, the theory is that when the costs of having erroneous beliefs are low, people relax their intellectual standards and allow themselves to be more easily influenced by fallacious reasoning, cognitive biases, and emotional appeals.

  3. Behavioral game theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_game_theory

    Traditional game theory is a primarily normative theory as it seeks to pinpoint the decision that rational players should choose, but does not attempt to explain why that decision was made. [14] Rationality is a primary assumption of game theory, so there are not explanations for different forms of rational decisions or irrational decisions. [14]

  4. Irrational Games - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_Games

    Irrational Games (known as 2K Boston between 2007 and 2009) was an American video game developer founded in 1997 by three former employees of Looking Glass Studios: Ken Levine, Jonathan Chey, and Robert Fermier.

  5. Prisoner's dilemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner's_dilemma

    The prisoner's dilemma is a game theory thought experiment involving two rational agents, each of whom can either cooperate for mutual benefit or betray their partner ("defect") for individual gain. The dilemma arises from the fact that while defecting is rational for each agent, cooperation yields a higher payoff for each.

  6. Outcome (game theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outcome_(game_theory)

    The purpose of game-theoretic analysis, when applied to a rational approach, is to provide recommendations on how to make choices against other rational players. First, it reduces the possible outcomes; logical action is more predictable than irrational. Second, it provides a criterion for assessing an economic system's efficiency.

  8. Irrationalism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrationalism

    Irrational behavior can be useful when used tactically in certain conflict, game and escape situations. The moves of an irrational opponent are not (or only very limitedly) predictable. An irrational negotiator cannot be put under rational pressure. [52] An indirect tactic is the rational use of the irrationalism of third parties.

  9. Game theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory

    Separately, game theory has played a role in online algorithms; in particular, the k-server problem, which has in the past been referred to as games with moving costs and request-answer games. [124] Yao's principle is a game-theoretic technique for proving lower bounds on the computational complexity of randomized algorithms , especially online ...
