RATIONAL MAN

What do you want our science to think of you?

Supposedly you want to look sensible? So we measure your utility function as a rational actor. First we examine whether your decision making advances from the definition of the problem to the diagnosis, the formulation of the task and to the final conclusion.

Then we determine whether you have abilities not only in economic rationality, but also in social navigation. We also clarify whether you are a person realising yourself "at all costs" who always thinks he or she is right.

We observe your action under uncertain conditions. We investigate three approaches. The first is the traditional "thinking first" style. The second is the visionary and idea rich "seeing first" case. The third is the instinctive "doing first" behaviour.

Our matrix is already calculating your qualities. What do you think about your role in our survey? We do not use the concept of determined actor or the concept of autonomic subject. We just produce the relevant information through our mathematic methods.

The results are defined as the triad of definite, semi-definite and indefinite. You already belong to the area of these qualities. The object of our search is the conscious part of the brain, where information arrives after having passed through the unconscious parts.


"Rational Man" is a non-symmetrical game, in which exact mathematical symbols refer to the subjective meanings that control the game situation. The game is played between the ideal rational expectations and the empirical results of the performance.
