Rationality and beliefs are intrinsically linked in epistemology, where rationality serves as a normative criterion for assessing the quality of beliefs [1], [2]. This relationship is further evidenced by the study of how disagreement impacts the rationality of beliefs [3], [4], and how Bayesian frameworks use probability to define rational norms for belief states [5].
