The expression
S-Delegates(X Y
τ
)
represents the following
necessary
mental ingredients:
a
) The achievement of
is a
goal
of
X
.
b
)
X
believes that there exists another agent
Y
that has the
power of
achieving
τ
τ
.
c
)
X
does not believe that
Y
will achieve
τ
by itself (without any intervention of
X
).
d
)
X
believes that if
X
realizes an action
α
there will be this result:
Y
will intend
τ
as the consequence of the fact that
Y
adopts
X's
goal that
Y
would intend
τ
(in
other words,
Y
will be socially committed with
X
).
e
)
Xprefers
to achieve
τ
through
Y
.
f
)
X
intends to do
α
relativized to (
d
).
g
) The achievement of
through
Y
is the goal of
X
.
h
)
X
has the goal (
relativized
to (
g
)) of not achieving
τ
τ
by itself.
We consider (
a
,
b
,
c
,
d
and
e
) what the agent
X
viewsasa'
Potential for relying on
'the
agent
Y
; and (
f
,
g
and
h
) what
X
views as the '
Decision to rely on
'
Y
.
In this case we have:
MBel(X Y S-Delegates(X Y
τ
))
