Abstract

The Free Choice problem is a problem that arises when translating certain sentences pertaining to permission from natural language to logic. A solution to this problem was proposed by Franke called Iterated Best Response. Fox and Katzir recently pointed out a flaw in this solution. In this research, I approached this problem and managed to construct a solution that allowed the IBR algorithm to once again be a viable solution to the Free Choice problem. This solution is then also critically examined to see if it definitively solves the Free Choice problem.
