Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Complex, coordinated efforts such as organizing national intelligence, rescuing flood victims, or conducting large-scale scientific research require both pooling and sharing information. These two processes are related but different. A commanding officer may pool intelligence and be able to locate a target while an agent in the field is unable to do so. The fact that the intelligence is not shared, or “out in the open” for all field officers, might even be crucial to the success of the operation. What is, then, the precise relationship between pooling and sharing information? Is shared information always pooled? How can individuals with limited time and resources effectively share and/or pool the information they have? The SEGA project aimed at studying these questions while at the same time lifting two important idealizations that most previous models of pooled and shared knowledge have made. On the one hand, the agents in these models are “logically omniscient”, i.e., they know all the logical consequences of their information. On the other hand, standard logical models also assume that the agents can store highly complicated notions, for instance an unbounded number of iterations of “everybody knows that everybody knows that…”, which are at the heart of the definition of so-called “common knowledge.” The work on the SEGA project took three decisive steps towards lifting these idealizations. First, the project members developed novel logical models of shared information, e.g. common knowledge, for agents who do not have the full deductive power of the classical models. Second, they studied both generalizations and alternative models of information pooling, drawing from substructural logic and the theory of so-called priority merge operations. Finally, they studied the logical models of questions, and applied them to epistemic logic in order to understand the conditions under which shared and common knowledge can be reached. The project featured six project-wide meetings, bringing together project members and leading scholars as invited speakers. The project also financed three visits of Czech team members to Germany, each of which resulted in concrete joint publications.
