logic

Logical consequence: B follows from A iff B is true in every interpretation/model in which A is true.

In logic, consequence refers to Logical consequence: B follows from A iff B is true in every interpretation/model in which A is true. This meaning comes from Tarski (1936/2002) in History and Philosophy of Logic. Here consequence is not a consequence: an outcome to which an act leads in a given state of the world (acts map states to consequences).[1]

Unit
an entailment
Recovery means
model-theoretic or proof-theoretic test
Measured by
validity of the inference

decision theory

A consequence: an outcome to which an act leads in a given state of the world (acts map states to consequences).

In decision theory, consequence refers to a consequence: an outcome to which an act leads in a given state of the world (acts map states to consequences). This meaning comes from Savage (1954/1972) in The foundations of statistics. Here consequence is not logical consequence: b follows from a iff b is true in every interpretation/model in which a is true.[2]

Unit
an outcome
Recovery means
specifying act x state
Measured by
utility assigned to the consequence
