Cognitive Basis of Focal Points: Evolution and Correlated Equilibrium Emergence

Valerii Shevchenko

Аннотация


The paper sketches a way to connect cognitively realistic notion of relevance needed for social coordination and game-theoretic models of such coordination, in particular, that of correlated equilibrium. Such a connection would help to answer the question of how social coordination described in game theory is evolutionary and cognitively possible. The main argument put forward is to equate a signal’s relevance to its information quantity — the more relevant a signal is, the more it changes probabilities of action.
