The Ditmarsch Tale of Wonders - the dynamics of lying
We propose a dynamic logic of lying, wherein a lie is an action inducing the transformation of an information structure encoding the uncertainty of agents about their beliefs. We distinguish the treatment of an outside observer who is lying to an agent that is modelled in the system, from the case of one agent who is lying to another agent, and where both are modelled in the system. We also model bluffing, how to incorporate unbelievable lies, and lying about modal formulas. For more information, see http://arxiv.org/abs/1108.2115
