ABSTRACT

This paper examines methods for narrating consciousness in game theory. In order to represent how players process their environment, posture towards one another, and hold themselves accountable to their own thinking, I find two distinct ways that game theorists narrate the consciousness of their players. Quoted monologue is a player’s internal language, which can be articulated to show a player’s perspective to the reader. The other narrative mode is psycho-narration, which puts the external technical skills of the game-theorist into the narrator’s hands to describe a player’s mental activity with more complexity than quoted monologue. Quoted monologue and psycho-narration communicate players’ thoughts in ways that convince the readers of the players’ positions, clarify game solution concepts, and enliven the written text.

摘要

本文考察了博弈论中叙述意识的方法。为了表示玩家如何处理他们的环境、对彼此的态度以及让自己对自己的想法负责，我发现博弈论学家用两种截然不同的方式来叙述他们的玩家的意识。引用的独白是玩家的内部语言，可以清晰地向读者展示玩家的观点。另一种叙事模式是心理叙事，它将博弈论者的外在技术技能交到叙事者手中，以比引述独白更复杂的方式来描述玩家的心理活动。引述的独白和心理叙事以让读者相信玩家的立场、阐明游戏解决方案概念并使书面文本生动活泼的方式传达玩家的想法。
