“…Promise Theory is claimed to be of use in the context of informatics, see e.g. Bergstra 2020 [3], Bergstra 2020b [4], Bergstra & Burgess 2019 [9,10] and Bergstra & Burgess 2020 [11]. Within informatics, Promise Theory allowed for a description and reconstruction of the internal logic of different communicative moves.…”

Straight accusations are considered a normal case for accusations with special accusation types referring to other forms of accusations. Three special accusation types wil be considered: anonymous accusations, non-evidential accusations, and self-accusations. Anonymous accusations (AA's) are accusations with an anonymous accuser. We describe the remarkable effects which anonymous accusations may have, and we propose various key properties of anonymous accusations: (i) the viral character of AA's, (ii) the potentially explosive effect of AA's, and (iii) the forensic challenge creation characteristic of AA's. These characteristics suggest, and in may contexts impose, rather restrictive rules of engagement for dealing with AA's. Secondly we describe non-evidential accusations (NEA's). Such accusations do not allow any meaningful form of validation of the body of the accusation. Nevertheless NEA's play a significant role nowadays. Finally we provide some remarks on self-accusations. A self-accusation may also be non-evidential.

Accusations play a pivotal role in human communication. There seems be be some changes in the contemporary political situation. However, there is a lack of a philosophical conceptualisation that is necessary for appropriate descriptions of accusations and further philosophical scrutiny. Accustation Theory (AT) is proposed as such a theoretical framework. This paper aims (1) to present some general tools for the description of accusations as speech acts, (2) will try to understand fundamental features of accusations, (3) understand some elements of the practice of accusing, (4) will present a short overview of relevant literature and (5) outline some possible lines of further research.

Promises in the Context of Humanoid Robot Morality

Abstract: Promise theory (PT) has been designed with a focus on information technology and systems design. I will use PT to outline the specification of robot behaviour and to discuss various forms of trust in connection with robots.
