A Dynamic Logic of Institutional Actions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a logical framework to represent and reason about some important aspects of a theory of institutional action: (1) the distinctions between physical facts and actions and institutional facts and actions; (2) the distinction between causality and ‘counts-as’; (3) the notion of institutional power. Technically, our contribution consists in extending a dynamic logic of propositional assignments with constructions allowing to express that an agent plays a given role; that a physical action causes another physical action; that a physical action performed by an agent playing a given role counts as an institutional action.

This commentary on the recent think piece by Mannion and Exworthy reviews their core arguments, highlighting their suggestion that recent forces for personalization have emerged which may counterbalance the strong standardization wave which has been evident in many healthcare settings and systems over the last two decades. These forces for personalization can take very different forms. The comm...
متن کاملThe Role of Institutions in the Dynamic Effects of Oil Revenues in Oil Economies
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the system of oil revenues effects on the production performance of oil-rich countries in both short and long-run. To reveal new insight, a macroeconomic model is designed to hypothesize long-run structural relations in the economies of the oil-rich countries including three long-run relationships of real output, real money balance, and the adjusted p...
متن کاملA Q-learning Based Continuous Tuning of Fuzzy Wall Tracking
A simple easy to implement algorithm is proposed to address wall tracking task of an autonomous robot. The robot should navigate in unknown environments, find the nearest wall, and track it solely based on locally sensed data. The proposed method benefits from coupling fuzzy logic and Q-learning to meet requirements of autonomous navigations. Fuzzy if-then rules provide a reliable decision maki...
متن کاملAn Algebraic Approach to Dynamic Epistemic Logic
Dynamic epistemic logic plays a key role in reasoning about multi-agent systems. Past approaches to dynamic epistemic logic have typically been focused on actions whose primary purpose is to communicate information from one agent to another. These actions are unable to alter the valuation of any proposition within the system. In fields such as security, it is easy to imagine situations in which...
متن کاملGuarded Actions
Guarded actions are changes with preconditions acting as a guard. Guarded action models are multimodal Kripke models with the valuations replaced by guarded actions. Call guarded action logic the result of adding product updates with guarded action models to PDL (propositional dynamic logic). We show that guarded action logic reduces to PDL. keywords Dynamic epistemic logic, logic of communicat...
