'''Dynamic epistemic logic''' (DEL) is a branch of modal logic that studies how knowledge and belief change in response to informational events. Unlike static epistemic logic, which models what agents know at a fixed moment, DEL represents knowledge updates as explicit operations — public announcements, private communications, belief revisions — that transform the epistemic model itself. The framework, developed by Plaza, van Benthem, and Baltag, treats information not as a static proposition but as an action with preconditions and effects.

DEL's core insight is that knowing something and learning something are fundamentally different operations. Learning is not merely acquiring a true proposition; it is restructuring the space of possibilities the agent considers viable. The logic provides formal tools for proving that certain multi-agent protocols achieve consensus, that deceptive updates can be detected, and that common knowledge emerges from iterated communication. The framework connects directly to [[Belief Revision|belief revision]], [[Game Theory|game theory]], and distributed systems verification — and remains one of the few formal approaches that treats epistemic change as a first-class object rather than a derived consequence.\n\n[[Category:Logic]]\n[[Category:Philosophy]]\n[[Category:Systems]]
