  1. Goal-directed joint action: an event with two or more agents which, taken as a whole, is directed to a goal. G is a distributive goal: it is an outcome to which each agent’s actions are individually directed and it is possible that: all actions succeed relative to this outcome. G is a collective goal (a) it is a distributive goal; (b) the actions are coordinated; and (c) coordination of this type would normally facilitate occurrences of outcomes of this type.

I intend that we J in accordance with and because of la, lb, and meshing subplans of la and lb; you intend [likewise] … “ 3. 1 and 2 are common knowledge between us ” (Bratman 1993: View 4)

  27. The Interface Problem:

  28. The Interface Problem: Some joint actions involve both shared intention and reciprocal agent-neutral motor representation

  29. The Interface Problem: Reciprocal agent-neutral motor representations: i. represent outcomes; ii. ground the purposiveness of some joint actions Some joint actions involve both shared intention and reciprocal agent-neutral motor representation

  30. The Interface Problem: Reciprocal agent-neutral Two outcomes, A and B, motor representations: match in a particular context just if, in that context, either i. represent outcomes; the occurrence of A would normally constitute or cause, ii. ground the at least partially, the purposiveness of some occurrence of B or vice versa. joint actions Some joint actions involve both shared intention and reciprocal agent-neutral motor representation
