Transitivity vs. Intransitivity

چکیده
We compare two different ways of quantization a simple sequential game Cat’s Dilemma in the context of the debate on intransitive and transitive preferences. This kind of analysis can have essential meaning for the research on the artificial intelligence (some possibilities are discussed). Nature has both properties transitive and intransitive and maybe quantum models can be more able to capture this dualism than classical one. We also present electoral interpretation of the game.

Cat’s Dilemma – Transitivity vs. Intransitivity
Received (received date) Revised (revised date) Accepted (accepted date) We study a simple example of a sequential game illustrating problems connected with making rational decisions that are universal for social sciences. The set of chooser's optimal decisions that manifest his preferences in case of a constant strategy of the adversary (the offering player), is investigated. It turns out that...
متن کاملIntransitivity in Theory and in the Real World
This work considers reasons for and implications of discarding the assumption of transitivity—the fundamental postulate in the utility theory of von Neumann and Morgenstern, the adiabatic accessibility principle of Caratheodory and most other theories related to preferences or competition. The examples of intransitivity are drawn from different fields, such as law, biology and economics. This w...
متن کاملTesting for intransitivity of preferences predicted by a lexicographic semi-order
A classic paper by Tversky (Tversky, A. (1969). Intransitivity of preferences. Psychological Review, 76, 31–48.) reported that some people systematically violated transitivity of preference when choosing between specially constructed risky gambles. This conclusion remained controversial because his statistical analysis did not allow each participant to have a different true preference order. Re...
متن کاملA Study of Taiwanese EFL Learners‟ Syntactic Transfer in Verb Transitivity
L1 transfer is generally regarded as an important characteristic of L2 acquisition, also one of the sources of learners’ errors. One of the primary transfer between English and Chinese lies in the verb usage since verbs that are transitive in Chinese may be intransitive in English, or vice versa. In the previous studies, the investigation on the syntactic transfer in verb transitivity is only o...
متن کاملAn experimental investigation of violations of transitivity in choice under uncertainty
Several models of decision-making imply systematic violations of transitivity of preference. Our experiments explored whether people show patterns of intransitivity predicted by regret theory and majority rule. To distinguish “true” violations from those produced by “error,” a model was fit in which each choice can have a different error rate and each person can have a different pattern of true...
