Building the meaning of preference from logical paired structures

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose paired structures to represent the meaning/use of preference.

• Preference models are logically and semantically characterized by paired structures.

• The semantics of reciprocal preferences reduces to strict preference.

• The P–A is the only preference model distinguishing between need and desire.
