Construction by Jean Fran ois Mertens and Zamir implementing with John Harsanyi s proposal to model games with incomplete information by supposing that each player is characterized by a privately known type that describes his feasible strategies and payoffs as well as a probability distribution over other players types. ref name mertens cite journal author Jean Fran ois Mertens and Shmuel Zamir title Formulation of Bayesian analysis for games with incomplete information journal INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GAME THEORY year 1985 03 01 volume 14 issue 1 page 1 29 url http dx.doi.org 10.1007 BF01770224 ref Such probability distribution at the first level can be interpreted as a low level belief of a player. One level up the probability on the belief of other players is interpreted as beliefs on beliefs. A recursive universal construct is built in which player have beliefs on their beliefs at different level this construct is called the hierarchy of beliefs. For those who have seen the movie inception with the different levels of dreams something similar is constructed for beliefs. Dreamers players are very awake in Mertens and Zamir construction and very aware of lower level beliefs. The result is a universal space of types in which, subject to specified consistency conditions, each type corresponds to the infinite hierarchy of his probabilistic beliefs about others probabilistic beliefs.

Citations missing date November 2007 Ayyavazhi Ayyavazhi beliefs are those associated with the South Indian religious faith known as Ayyavazhi . Some of the beliefs of Ayyavazhi are shared with that of Hinduism , and others are unique to Ayyavazhi. Belief in the return of Ayya Vaikundar After the death of Ayya Vaikundar , a palm leaf text, the Akilattirattu Ammanai , was opened, and it revealed instructions and concepts of Ayyavazhi faith and practice. The section known as Nadutheervai Ula in the Arul Nool predicts that Ayya Vaikundar will return during the final judgement. Another verse in the Pathiram of Arul Nool states Breaking the earth, I will come to give you counsel , and yet another verse in the Thinkalppatham of Arul Nool states From out of the earthen cell, I will come out . Profundity upon profundity. Kali or Kalimayai Belief in Kali Yuga is one of the beliefs that permeate the religious ethos of the followers of Ayyavazhi . Though the belief in kali was in vogue in the sanskritic Hindu religious tradition as well, it operates in a different way in Ayyavazhi because of the reinterpretation. Taking the basic premise of this extant belief that the present age is a Kali Yukam , an age filled with the evil force of kali not the Hindu deity , Ayyavazhi assigned a new meaning to it. As per the interpretation of Ayyavazhi, Kali entered into this world as a consequence of the birth of Kalineesan , the last fragment of the primordial Kroni , a mythical being. Kalineesan, who settled on earth to reign over the age of Kali as the king of Thiruvithankur , became the visible representation of the evil force of Kali, oppressing the people because of this Kalimayai . People, groaning under the oppressive measures of Kalineesan, believe in Ayya Vaikundar as the God incarnate who had come to destroy the Kali not the Hindu deity and put an end to the Kali Yukam. Belief in fate and curse Belief in fate has a great influence on the day to day living of the followers of Ayyavazhi ... more details
