The paper discusses some issues regarding the irrationality as an inherent ingredient of any effective (real) rationality model, and, consequently, of any decision or action. To this end the ways (channels) through which the irrationality occurs are examined, establishing three categories of possible irrationality: α-irrationality, β-irrationality, and γ-irrationality (containing a sub-category called γ^'-irrationality). The α-irrationality is analysed vs. Kuhn, Gödel, Heisenberg, and Nicolesco proposals. The standard rationality entered by the irrationality categories is called q-rationality, and is analysed vs. three essays to adjust the genuine rationality model of homo œconomicus (Smith): bounded rationality (Simon), anticipations, and expectations.
