Partial Awareness

Abstract: We develop a modal logic to capture partial awareness. The logic has three building blocks: objects, properties, and concepts. Properties are unary predicates on objects; concepts are Boolean combinations of properties. We take an agent to be partially aware of a concept if she is aware of the concept without being aware of the properties that define it. The logic allows for quantification over objects and properties, so that the agent can reason about her own unawareness. We then apply the logic to contracts,… Show more

“…As some of the previous research suggests, the awareness precedes assessment. The identification could intensify the awareness, which is in line with the Halpern and Piermont model [21]. The awareness in terms of "something is going on", without the assessment, might be significant for the alertness, but could only have implications for strategic behavior when combined with the assessment.…”

“…What are the insights about the relationship of the awareness and assessment? The argument for treating the assessment as a part of the awareness (as already assumed by Reference [21]) would be a useful insight for further theoretical modeling, but only the results of one of the scenarios supports such a conclusion. Given the inconclusive results regarding the relationship of the awareness and assessment, this topic requires future research.…”

“…Agents who are introspectively unaware, however, might reason that there exist contingencies they are unaware of, without, of course, knowing exactly what such contingencies entail (see Halpern and Rêgo, 2009;Halpern and Piermont, 2019). Subjective payoff structures can capture both naive and introspective unawareness by changing restrictions on the relation between d i and d j|i : when d i is required to contain d j|i then the agent i is naively unaware, as he does not consider it possible that j considers a contingency he does not.…”
