Abstract
AbstractTeam reasoning is the idea that we can think as a ‘we’ and this can solve some coordination dilemmas, such as Hi-Lo. However, team reasoning can only solve the dilemmas it is intended to solve if the conditions for team reasoning warrant the belief that others will also perform team reasoning and these conditions cannot render team reasoning otiose. In this paper, I will supplement the theory of team reasoning by explaining how agency transformation also involves a change in the normative attitude. To do this, I will use the theory of affordances, which is the idea that the environment provides ways to interact with it. I will argue that when a person perceives as a group member, she associates herself and the other members with the group’s mosaic of affordances. This triggers a feeling of joint ownership of the agency. It is the feeling that it is up to us to deal with the situation, so we feel entitled to demand each other to cooperate. It warrants the belief that others are team-reasoners without rendering team reasoning otiose. This means that the agency transformation (fromItowe) involves a change in the normative attitude.

Summary
Team reasoning is the idea that we can think as a ‘we’ and this can solve some coordination dilemmas, such as Hi-Lo (Bacharach 2006). The other is to perceive as a group member, where the group is dealing with the environment This is important, because, as I will argue, we associate a person with her mosaic of affordances. If she perceives as a group member, she will perceive the possible interactions between the group and the environment She will associate herself and the other person with the group’s mosaic of affordances. This triggers a feeling of joint ownership of the agency. The agency transformation (i.e. from perceiving as an independent individual to perceiving as a group member) will involve a transformation in the normative attitude of the members This normative layer enables team reasoning to solve the dilemmas without rendering it otiose.
