Preferences, Trade-offs & Commensuration

Primes about comparing and ranking incommensurable goods: trade-offs and Occam's parsimony, preference heterogeneity and temporal inconsistency, value commensuration, comparative advantage, two-sided matching, commensurability.

9 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
