A negotiation outcome can be conjectured but not determined A theory of negotiations, unlike theories in mathematics or science, is in essence a theory of compromise. If science or mathematics purports to uncover or reflect the actual laws of the universe, or the actual relations between shapes and numbers, negotiation theory purports to uncover or reflect the dispositions of behavior of human agents. The latter is not a science. It is a theory of conjecture. Behavioral dispositions are, at best, just that- dispositions to behave in certain ways. Ideally, a negotiation maxim would tell us what, ceteris paribus, a likely outcome of a negotiation over an object in the world might be.
