      <field key="753" subkey="">Abstract: Contemporary approaches to decision making describe a decision problem by sets of states and outcomes, and a rich set</field>

      <field key="equ" subkey="i">pped. It is often unclear what the state and outcome spaces would be. We present an alternative foundation for decision</field>
      <field key="mak" subkey="i">ng, in which the primitive objects of choice are syntactic programs. We show that if the DM's preference relation on objects</field>
      <field key="of" subkey="c">hoice satisfies appropriate axioms, then we can find states, outcomes, and an embedding of the programs into Savage acts such</field>
      <field key="tha" subkey="t">preferences can be represented by EU in the Savage framework. A modeler can test for SEU behavior without having access to</field>
