David K. Lewis on Planning - Dictionary of Arguments
IV 248 Plan/Lewis: For example, we set up the plan to raid the nuclear power plant to steal plutonium: the plan grows and we become more and more complicated, but sometimes parts are also revised. IV 249 Score keeping: suddenly I start talking about the getaway car, so it automatically becomes part of the plan and the account changes, before it was perhaps a presupposition. >Presupposition, >Score keeping model. Maybe the whole plan is part of our presuppositions? The two could also come into conflict if, for example, we just set up the plan to show that the nuclear power plant should be better protected. Plan/Presupposition/Lewis: the difference between the two is not between what we assume and what we really do. While we are planning to invade the nuclear power plant and presuppose that we are not doing it, perhaps we could not assume for certain that we are doing it, nor that we are not doing it. Everyone could hope to convert the other to do it after all. For example "Then you drive the getaway car to the side entrance": The car is planned, the side entrance is rather presupposed._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
