An Inquiry into the Interdependence between Rational Choice and the “Catch-22 Situation”: The Win-Win-Win Papakonstantinidis Approach
Keywords:
Catch-22 Game, Distinctive Feature, Bayesian Inference Pareto OptimalityAbstract
The paper deals with the interdependency between pure rationality
and the catch 22 situation A catch-22 is a paradoxical situation from
which an individual cannot escape because of contradictory rules or
limitations. The term was coined by Joseph Heller, who used it in his
1961 novel Catch-22.
The “catch-22 game” provides us with the math material for understanding
the psychological pressure of the form of “How can I get any experience
until I get a job that gives me experience?” Brantley Foster in “The
Secret of My Success”.
It is an attempt to study rationality from the side of “cats 22” I used the
win-win-win papakonstantinidis model as a methodological tool and
the Pareto Optimality concept.

A catch-22 is a paradoxical situation from which an individual cannot escape because of contradictory rules
or limitations. The term was coined by Joseph Heller,
who used it in his 1961 novel Catch-22. An example is:
In needing experience to get a job...”How can I get any
experience until I get a job that gives me experience?”
– Brantley Foster in The Secret of My Success.
In needing experience to get a job How can I get any
experience until I get a job that gives me experience?”

Catch-22s often result from rules, regulations, or
procedures that an individual is subject to, but has
no control over, because to fight the rule is to accept
it. Another example is a situation in which someone
is in need of something that can only be had by not
being in need of it (e.g.: the only way to qualify for a
loan is to prove to the bank that you don’t need a loan).
One connotation of the term is that the creators of the
“catch-22” situation have created arbitrary rules in
order to justify and conceal their own abuse of power.
Catch-22 is a satirical war novel by American author
Joseph Heller. He began writing it in 1953; the novel was
first published in 1961. Often cited as one of the most
significant novels of the twentieth century,[2] it uses a
distinctive non-chronological third-person omniscient
narration, describing events from the points of view of
different characters. The separate storylines are out
of sequence so the timeline develops along with the
plot. The novel is set during World War II, from 1942
to 1944. It mainly follows the life of antihero Captain
John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier.
Most of the events in the book occur while the fictional
th US Army Air Squadron is based on the island of
Pianosa, in the Mediterranean Sea west of Italy, though
it also covers episodes from basic training at Lowry Field
in Colorado and Air Corps training at Santa Ana Army
Air Base in California. The novel examines the absurdity
of war and military life through the experiences of
Yossarian and his cohorts, who attempt to maintain
their sanity while fulfilling their service requirements
so that they may return home.
