We show that for a finite-state system the logical interpretation of qMu, via fixed-points in a domain of real-valued functions into [0,1], is equivalent to an operational interpretation given as a turn-based gambling game between two players. The logical interpretation provides direct access to axioms, laws and meta-theorems. The operational, game- based interpretation aids the intuition and continues in the more general context to provide a surprisingly practical specification tool. A corollary of our proofs is an extension of Everett's singly-nested games result in the finite turn-based case: we prove well-definedness of the minimax value, and existence of fixed memoriless strategies, for all qMu games/formulae, of arbitrary (including alternating) nesting structure.45 pages, 4 figuresLogic in Computer ScienceComputer Science and Game TheoryD.2.4;F.1.2;F.3.1;F.4.1;G.3text
