Dominance (in decision theory)(as used in game theory and rational decision-making): When one choice is better than another in all possible situations, making the worse choice irrational to pick.
Expectation calculation(Different probability beliefs change what outcome you should expect, which changes what decision makes sense.): A mathematical method for figuring out the average or typical outcome of a decision by multiplying each possible result by how likely it is.
Rational prescriptions(in game theory): Recommendations for how someone should act if they want to make smart, logical decisions.
