    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→Identifying the solution to Selten's Horse on general principles requires reasoning about players' beliefs about conditional probabilities, not merely strategic beliefs about actions.

    This reasoning involves conditional probabilities: the probability that Player III is at node 13 or 14 given that he has a move.

    Theorists who think of game theory as part of a normative theory of general rationality, for example most philosophers, and refinement program enthusiasts among economists, have pursued a strategy that would identify this solution on general principles. Notice what Player III in Selten’s Horse might wonder about as he selects his strategy. “Given that I get a move, was my action node reached from node 11 or from node 12?” What, in other words, are the conditional probabilities that Player III is
