OMG. Wot part of the OP stating the ULTIMATE decision is binary is too complicated for U such that U feel the need to blab n blab on here?LuckyR wrote: ↑Sat Mar 08, 2025 8:48 amI go to get ice cream from 31 Flavors. I use (as do most folks) a multistep process involving several decisions to make my selection. There are 31 possible options, my first decision (which happens to be non binary ie 1:31), is to consider what I usually select, pistachio. I next make the binary decision not to. Next I make a second non binary decision to consider strawberry (1:30), finally I make the binary decision to get a strawberry cone. Nowhere did I make 29 other binary decisions to NOT pick chocolate, vanilla, rocky road etc. Those never entered my consciousness.attofishpi wrote: ↑Sat Mar 08, 2025 7:59 amPrey? Are U cursed?![]()
So.
Provide a decision U can make that has no ultimate binary value, a yes or no to that decision.
Tomorrow I go to my kitchen (which has a quart of strawberry ice cream in the freezer). I only consider having a strawberry cone, which of course is a binary decision.
These two scenarios are not identical.
Your description of decision making, only yes vs no, applies to simple, single step decisions where the potential final outcome can be known in some detail at the time of the decision making.
"finally I make the binary decision to get a strawberry cone."
