Abstract
A conflict resolution model based on the concepts of living systems, dynamic goal setting behavior, stable habitual domains, self-interest principle, and mutual victory condition is proposed and discussed. Acceptability of alternatives, conflict solvability, and probability of resolving the conflict are described. Computation formula and method for the related probability are also suggested. Understanding and estimating the acceptability of alternatives and conflict solvability is an important step to resolve nontrivial conflicts.
