Abstract

We add a rule for Nash-consistency to Coalition Logic, a modal logic
for reasoning about the abilities and rights of groups in multi-agent
systems. Rights of agents (constitutions) can be formalised using
Coalition Logic, and the additional inference rule of Nash-consistency
will guarantee that any multi-agent system implementing these rights
will be stable, i.e., for any preferences the agents might have, there
will be rights they can exercise such that no individual deviation
will be profitable. We apply this logic to obtain a formal analysis of
Gibbard's paradox, and we provide meta-theoretic results, in
particular a complete axiomatisation.
