The "textbook example" is largely an opportunity for showing off: it does not actually illuminate what is meant by common knowledge. The evolution of what is considered "common knowledge" within a society is not approached yet. Why are no vehicles of "common knowledge" mentioned? Is there no relation to proverbs for instance? A few links to the rest of Wikipedia might make this exercise appear less self-indulgent. --Wetman 22:11, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- The "textbook example" is not self-indulgence. That example is the one example I had to demonstrate why common knowledge is different from "general knowledge" to n-ply, with arbitrarily large n. I'm not a logician, nor an expert on this matter, and I bring forth what little knowledge I have in the hopes of contributing as best I can.
- This article was intended as one on the precise "common knowledge" of modal logic (and possibly its applications to real human systems) not the informally defined "common knowledge" of proverbs, oral traditions, etc. EventHorizon talk 23:03, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Where's the article defining "Common knowledge", that is, the stuff that most people know? I.E. "IT is common knowledge that the U.S. Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776." --Locarno 16:10, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps this paper should have been called the logic of common knowledge. Pierre de Lyon 02:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- Moved to "Common knowledge (logic)". -- Beland 05:28, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
