Conflict Resolution. Risk-As-Feelings Hypothesis

Mathematical model of a goal-oriented thinking with feedback is described. Basic notions: decision graph, feed-back hierarchy and self-duality are introduced and explained. A source of the conflict in our approach is the ignorance about the importance of decision maker's goals. In contrast to Shar, Simonson & Tversky [4] and Deutsch [2] conflict resolution is modeled as a problem of finding a fixed point of a self-assessment operator, i.e. without adding or removing any decision element from decision hierarchy.multi-criteria decision making, duality, self-ranking, preference graph, potential method, risk-as-feeling model.
