Abstract

Hyperrational games are characterized, and conditions for their resolutions are identified. It is maintained that they can resolve only in kinds of equilibria, and that some do resolve in by deliberations that, by processes of elimination, settle a player's expectations concerning the acts of other players. Problems for hyperrational agents are identified: It is held that they would do not well in some situations and that there are some situations that though possible for other agents are ones with which hyperrational agents could not cope.
