摘要
This paper develops a formal framework for analysing how agents extract reliable information from narratives and communicative interactions involving strategic deception. Building on Rubinstein and Glazer's models of persuasion, we introduce Tiglath-Pileser relations, a generalization of codex-based guidance relations, to formalize Baruch Halpern's Tiglath-Pileser principle: despite systematic bias, reported claims must retain a connection to the truth. We analyse these relations set-theoretically and axiomatically, identifying conditions for their successful application in persuasion. Our dynamic approach examines how such relations are formed, revised, and strategically manipulated, extending existing models beyond one-shot interactions. Two case studies, including a formal reconstruction of Halpern's interpretation of the biblical account of King David, illustrate the framework's application to historiographical reasoning. Combining logic, epistemic reasoning, and game theory, the paper provides an account of belief formation and truth approximation under partial information and strategic manipulation.
