(?) It sounds like 'true theory of reality' is something that could be occupied only by a final theory of physics. Decision theory just tells you the objectively best way of acting to satisfy a set of preferences.
I should say by definition that what takes true inputs to true outputs is "logic", not "rationality", the latter of which many textbooks will agree is about decision under uncertainty. If you thought "rationality" meant what I'd call "logic", no wonder there is confusion.

I’m using “rationality” in a quite broad sense as including all of math (including logic and decision theory) and a fair amount else besides.

That said, doesn’t decision theory take true inputs to true outputs? If you set up a situation as a decision theory problem, decision theory yields a deductively correct answers.

How is "rationality" different from "God" as described in John 1:1? God = Logos = Rationality?
-
Rationality is human God is not. Which is not to say that rationality is mental. Logos holds this multiplicity in meaning, though, because being the word that speaks it is out-spoken—why it is something we stand in dialog with. It is thus Aristotle speaks of man having logos.pic.twitter.com/gpmXwoYwpc

To unpack a little the epistemic is mental and the other is experiential. Mentally we can fool ourselves into any belief but at the end of the day truth makes itself known yeah. Trusting in what (by Necessity) is good in truth to guide the way is calculating but not some thought.
