Explaining Knightianism with one foot: how to live with a world that cannot be modeled or controlled

This article proposes using a "second-person perspective" to integrate first-person and third-person perspectives, in order to construct a Knightian uncertainty theory about possibilities that cannot be fully represented. The author argues that the third-person perspective places itself outside the world, acting on Bayesian assumptions and utility, but struggles to handle other agents reverse-modeling itself and its own inability to model the world due to being too small; the first-person perspective treats the world as a stream of sensory data, learning only partially overlapping concepts. The author envisions using Bayesian assumptions with "holes" to represent Knightian regions that cannot be modeled or controlled, and advocates treating these regions with a relational stance rather than a fully adversarial posture.
