| John MacFarlane has written a computer program called GOGAR that models
the game of giving and asking for reasons, i.e., the practice of
discursive scorekeeping as described in Making It Explicit. As he describes it: "It is designed to
help illustrate the way agents' attributions of commitments and
entitlements to each other is affected by the speech acts of
making, disavowing, and challenging assertions." It works on
both Windows and Mac OS X. The page describing how to install
and run GOGAR is
