Abstract

We introduce and study the notion of a Public Environment: a system in which a publicly known program is executed in an environment that is partially observable to agents in the system. Although agents do not directly have access to all variables in the system, they may come to know the values of unobserved variables because they know how the program is manipulating these variables. We develop a logic for reasoning about Public Environments, and an axiomatization of the logic.
