The distinction between clearly defined and otherwise is somewhat subjective. I have not heard anyone talking about the subject yet, so brought it up.
Since Rationality seems to be strongly related to Bayes’ theorem, it makes some sense that a lot of problems could be presented in a fashion where we only have to answer a few questions about priors to understand which actions to take.
It’s the best possible kind of answer to my question—a link to a load of interesting stuff—thanks!
I see where I went wrong, in missing out the entire physical universe as a source of questions that can be clearly stated but are about real things rather than mathematical descriptions of them.
See Wikipedia’s list for a few examples.

I don’t know if this answers your question.
