Abstract
A way of implementing the model "state-probability of choice", which describes probabilities of making a choice between certain alternatives, into chains of uncertain reasoning has been
suggested. That means associating a special matrix, called rectangular stochastic matrix, with each node of the reasoning chain, whereas a node corresponds either to a given fact or to a rule of inference, maybe uncertain. A binary case, when a resolution has to be either rejected or accepted, has been regarded. A situation of a dynamic equilibrium, which means that none of these alternatives has advantage over the other, and possible ways of how agents of influence can break such a situation, have been demonstrated. Some ways of resolving conflicts between contradictory sources of evidence have been suggested.
