Post-Structuralist Game Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The manuscript offers a conceptualization and formalization of the notion of choice undecidability of an individual actor within a post-structural approach to social theory. In contrast to conventional decision theories which posit that the actors are able to delineate the set of alternative choices, this paper explores how choice undecidability shapes the decision-making process in strategic situations. Drawing a conceptual analogy and borrowing terminology from quantum mechanics, I use the technologies of quantum superposition and entanglement to suggest a framework for formally studying choice undecidability in a post-structuralist game theory.

The genesis of the structuralist method is located in the writings of the early structuralists and necessarily leads to what neoclassicals call ad hoc theory. It is argued that simulation models are the logical outgrowth o...

In this paper, two games that play a role in creating a cancer tumor and suppression are studied using evolutionary game theory and its different modes are analyzed. The first game is the competition between a cancer cell and a healthy cell to receive food through the blood. In the second game, the interaction between the two oncogenes Ras and Myc is examined for cellular deformation

متن کاملHow does digital editing help children develop their understanding of narrative
The study of narrative frequently draws on structuralist ideas that story structures are formulaic and comparable from culture to culture. There is a theory that these basic narrative structures are recognisable across cultures and similarly across generations. It should follow, therefore, that while children in the 21 Century classroom need knowledge and understanding of the classic examples o...
