An Epistemic Description Language for Social Interactions and Networks
An Epistemic Description Language for Social Interactions and Networks
This chapter introduces a modeling language for representing the epistemic states of networked human agents at both the individual and collective levels. The new ‘epistemic description language’, or ‘EDL’, has a graphical component and a syntactical component. The language is used to articulate the relationships between individuals and their beliefs as elementary blocks of interactive epistemic networks. The chapter shows how epinets can be used to capture causally relevant states of social networks, and argue for the compilation of an epistemic description language for social interactions and networks.
Keywords: Social networks, epistemic game theory, epistemic description language, epistemic states, epistemic ties, epistemic networks, epinets
