Quantum Tug-of-War Model Explores Contextual Probability

This paper introduces a quantum-like extension of the Tug-of-War (QTOW) decision-making model to address context dependence in decision-making that challenges classical probability theory. The QTOW model utilizes a qutrit internal state and conservation-preserving updates to represent decision, learning, and probing operations within a single state space. The authors propose that contextual probability emerges as a signature of minimal decision dynamics, with quantum probability offering a more compact and memory-efficient realization of this structure.

    Minimal Decision Dynamics and Contextual Probability: A Quantum Tug-of-War Model

    arXiv:2601.10034v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Decision making often exhibits context dependence that challenges classical probability theory. This paper develops a quantum-like extension of the Tug-of-War (QTOW) decision-making model to clarify when such context dependence ca…
