Convincing narratives are not confabulations. Presumably they "feel right" to decision-making agents because the probabilities they assign (i.e., implicitly) to potential outcomes are plausible. Can we render explicit the calculations that would be performed by a decision-making agent to evaluate the plausibility of competing narratives? And if we can, what, exactly, makes a narrative "feel right" to an agent?
令人信服的叙述并非虚构。想必它们对于决策主体来说 “感觉正确”，因为他们（即隐含地）赋予潜在结果的概率是合理的。我们能否明确决策主体为评估相互竞争的叙述的合理性而进行的计算呢？如果可以，究竟是什么让一种叙述对主体来说 “感觉正确” 呢？
