Abstract: Motivation.With the development of different types of multi-agent systems a number of new questions considering the variety of agents came into being.By the variety of agents we understand the logical diversity that results from various attempts to develop formal systems capable of modeling actions, reasoning and behaviour of actual ration agents.The question is mostly studied in two branches of contemporary philosophical, i.e. modal logic: in epistemic logic and numerous action models (including other theories making use of epistemic and dynamic modalities).The roots of the logical problem of agent diversity lie in the idea that various agents might have different knowledge and beliefs, as well as use diverse rules of inference.That is the reason why the question has arisen quite recently, as it was traditionally believed that logical laws represent some universal norms using which everyone arrives at the same conclusion given the identical premisses.Thus, there was no need to introduce any agents representing the subject of inference.However, if we aim at modeling real agents, we are faced with the fact that normally they are limited in numerous resources, for instance, in case of imperfect or fallible information.
