Logic of Awareness in Agent's Reasoning
read the original abstract
The aim of this study is to formally express awareness for modeling practical agent communication. The notion of awareness has been proposed as a set of propositions for each agent, to which he/she pays attention, and has contributed to avoiding \textit{logical omniscience}. However, when an agent guesses another agent's knowledge states, what matters are not propositions but are accessible possible worlds. Therefore, we introduce a partition of possible worlds connected to awareness, that is an equivalence relation, to denote \textit{indistinguishable} worlds. Our logic is called Awareness Logic with Partition ($\mathcal{ALP}$). In this paper, we first show a running example to illustrate a practical social game. Thereafter, we introduce syntax and Kripke semantics of the logic and prove its completeness. Finally, we outline an idea to incorporate some epistemic actions with dynamic operators that change the state of awareness.

A Representation of Explicit Knowledge and Epistemic Indistinguishability in a Logic of Awareness
The authors define Awareness-Based Indistinguishability Logic (AIL) with a new semantics for explicit knowledge that is strictly stronger than Fagin-Halpern logic, prove embeddability of the prior logic, and supply a ...
