See, this would have been a lot clearer if you had specified initially that your objection was to the domain.

Sorry if there was any confusion. Here are all the possible outcomes - and their associated (real valued) utilities - laboriously spelled out in a table:

Remembers being presented with (A,B) and chooses A - utility 1.0.

Remembers being presented with (A,B) and chooses B - utility 0.0.

Remembers being presented with (B,C) and chooses B - utility 1.0.

Remembers being presented with (B,C) and chooses C - utility 0.0.

Remembers being presented with (C,A) and chooses C - utility 1.0.

Remembers being presented with (C,A) and chooses A - utility 0.0.

Other action - utility 0.0.
