Post-Structuralist Game Theory

Abstract

The manuscript offers a conceptualization and formalization of the notion of choice undecidability of an individual actor within a post-structural approach to social theory. In contrast to conventional decision theories which posit that the actors are able to delineate the set of alternative choices, this paper explores how choice undecidability shapes the decision-making process in strategic situations. Drawing a conceptual analogy and borrowing terminology from quantum mechanics, I use the technologies of quantum superposition and entanglement to suggest a framework for formally studying choice undecidability in a post-structuralist game theory.
