historical perspective and link our findings to a suggestion as to how decision theory could make use of it today. We emphasize …, with how it generally came to function within decision theory from the late 1970s onwards: that is, as an empirical … refutation of the expected utility hypothesis, and more specifically of the condition of von Neumann-Morgenstern independence …

observable events are regular open subsets of S. We axiomatically characterize Subjective Expected Utility (SEU) representations … of conditional preferences over acts, involving a continuous utility function on X (unique up to positive affine … transformations), and a unique Borel probability measure on S, along with an auxiliary apparatus called a "liminal structure", which …
