Decision Taking versus Promise Issuing

نویسنده

  • Jan A. Bergstra
چکیده

An alignment is developed between the terminology of outcome oriented decision taking and a terminology for promise issuing. Differences and correspondences are investigated between the concepts of decision and promise. For decision taking, two forms are distinguished: the external outcome delivering form and internalized decision taking. Internalized decision taking is brought in connection with Marc Slors’ theory of self-programming. Examples are produced for decisions and promises in four different several settings each connected with software technology: instruction sequence effectuation, informational money transfer, budget announcement, and division by zero.

Recognizability versus solvability of promise problems in finite, classical and quantum automata, framework

In pioneering papers [13, 17], the concept of the promise problems was introduced and started to be systematically explored. It has been argued that promise problems should be seen as partial decision problems and as such that they are more fundamental than decision problems and formal languages that used to be considered as the basic ones for complexity theory issues explorations. Moreover, bo...
