Preferred term

coalition logic  

Definition

  • Coalition Logic (CL) is a modal logic for reasoning about cooperation, more specifically about coalitional ability. The main construct of CL is of the form [C]φ, where C is a group of agents (a coalition), meaning that coalition C can by some collective action bring about a state of the world where φ is true, no matter what other agents choose to do. [Source: Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Social Sciences; Coalition Logic]
