Independent Choices and the Interpretation of IF Logic

In this paper it is argued that Hintikka's game theoretical semantics for Independence Friendly logic does not formalize the intuitions about independent choices; it rather is a formalization of imperfect information. Furthermore it is shown that the logic has several strange properties (e.g. renaming of bound variables is not allowed). An alternative semantics is proposed which formalizes intuitions about independence.
