    Savage's framework for expected utility requires known or estimable probabilities, but in novel one-shot interactions no frequentist or subjective basis for the pursuer's bridge preference exists.

    Key Terms

    Frequentist(contrasted with subjective Bayesian approach)
    An approach to probability that defines it as the long-run frequency of something happening—essentially, if you repeat an experiment many times, how often does the outcome occur?
    One-shot interactions(as used in decision theory and game theory)
    A situation that happens only once and will never repeat, so you can't learn from past patterns—like meeting a stranger you'll never see again.
    Probabilities(as used in discussing whether actions have fixed chances of occurring)
    Numerical chances or likelihoods that something will happen (like a 50% chance of rain).
    Savage's framework(as a formal model being referenced)
    A mathematical system created by statistician Leonard Savage that explains how rational people should make decisions under uncertainty using their own personal beliefs and preferences.

    Subjective basis(as used in probability and epistemology)
    A foundation for belief based on personal judgment or reasonable guess rather than hard data, like estimating the probability a friend will be late based on your experience with them.
    expected utility(Cited as a domain where aggregated probabilities play a key role)
    A calculation that aggregates probability-weighted outcomes to determine the overall value of a decision
