Physics and decisions: an exploration

摘要

Human decision making attracts intensive study from many disciplinary perspectives including economics, neurosciences, philosophy and psychology, but mostly without direct links to the physical context of decisions. Jerome Busemeyer's (e.g., Busemeyer et al. 2006) work on quantum decision making and Haven and Khren-nikov's (2013) work on quantum social science are notable exceptions. However, they purposely use quantum calculus as a toolbox to model probabilities, and do not claim to build a theoretical model to capture other, more fundamental aspects of decision making.
