Abnormality, rationality, and sanity.

چکیده
A growing body of studies suggests that neurological and mental abnormalities foster conformity to norms of rationality that are widely endorsed in economics and psychology, whereas normality stands in the way of rationality thus defined.

These are mainly proved using the theorem prover MONA; especially, this paper gives the first proof of the correctness of t...
