Abstract

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.

透明玩家:博弈论中叙事声音的使用
本文探讨了博弈论中意识的叙述方法。为了呈现玩家如何处理环境,如何对待他人,如何对自己的想法负责,我找到了两种截然不同的游戏理论家描述玩家意识的方式。引用的独白是玩家的内心语言,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,它将游戏理论家的外部技术技能交到叙述者手中,以比引用独白更复杂的方式描述玩家的心理活动。引用的独白和心理叙述传达了玩家的想法,让读者相信玩家的立场,澄清游戏解决方案的概念,并使书面文本活跃起来。
