WOW, could you send me a copy?

I would think that if there is a lot out there, that they would have one at WORLDCOMP, but I haven't seen any such thing there. and yes - many people > study the connections to game theory as well. I list game theory as an advanced form of logic, but few real-world situations (outside of American football and some quick-reacting war strategy situations) are structured as Game Theory presumes.

My interest is more in new forms of logic that are applicable to complex repair situations and real-world intractable disputes. Game theory might tell you how to fight, but seldom does it point the way to a peaceful resolution. Reverse Reductio ad Absurdum may point the way to a peaceful resolution, but it seems to be unusable unless the parties first understand it. Figure 6 cause-and-effect chain analysis is great for stable situations, but is often clueless in dynamic situations. I wonder what ELSE is in this arena? Hyperlinks? Thanks a LOT for your thoughts here.
