Democratic institutions increasingly use deliberative processes like citizens' assemblies to elicit thoughtful rather than immediate preferences from participants. However, existing approaches lack systematic criteria for determining when deliberation is adequate or successful. This work formalizes deliberated preferences using a single observable relation with clear semantics, addressing limitations of previous definitions. I will formally define the concept of theories of deliberated preferences and desirable properties thereof, show that a notion of falsification is required to cope with reduced observability, and present possibility and impossibility results.
