Episode Synopsis

Decision theory utilizes uninterpreted sentence preferences to quantify beliefs and desires. Intentional actions are causal events explained by mental reasons. Structural analysis of language confirms events as ontological particulars. This framework emphasizes that rationality and meaning are inherently holistic and social, requiring linguistic communication and triangulation, while psychological descriptions remain irreducible to strict physical laws.
