Answer 1

Answer:

The rationality principle

Explanation:

The rationality principle was coined by Carl.R Popper in 1963. It is related to what is called the logic of the situation. According to Popper's rationality principle, agents act most inadequately according to the objective situation. It is the idealized conception by the human behavior that he used to drive his model of situational analysis. If an agent knows that one of his actions will lead to one of its goals then the agent will select that action. The principle is employed at the knowledge level to move closer to the desired goal
