 Yet the decenterer acknowledges that there are systematic relations between interestingly self-locating doxastic states and boring doxastic states, for both speakers and hearers. The decenterer uses these connections to explain self-locating communicative effects. On one way of implementing a decentering model, when Andy says to Mike, “my pants are on fire”, Andy expresses the “Andy’s pants are on fire” doxastic state. (Other implementations will differ with respect to just which boring doxastic state is expressed.) And that’s the doxastic state that Mike winds up in as well. But being in the boring “Andy’s pants are on fire” doxastic state is differently connected to interesting doxastic states for Andy than for Mike. For Andy, given his total package of self-locating beliefs, being in the “Andy’s pants are on fire” state goes hand in hand with being in the “my pants are on fire” state. For Mike, given his total package of self-locating beliefs, being in the “Andy’s pants are on fire” state goes hand in hand not with the “my pants are on fire” state, but with the “the guy I’m talking to’s pants are on fire” state.
