Interpretation, Coordination and Conformity

Abstract

The aim of this note is to investigate a very general problem of (radical) interpretation in terms of a simple coordination game: the conformity game. We show how, within our mathematical framework, the solution concept for the conformity game does indeed provide an algorithmic procedure facilitating triangulation, in the sense of Davidson.
