Primes about shaping another agent's choices by manipulating the costs, threats, and signals attached to their options: coercion, compellence, and deterrence; credible commitment; price- and signaling-based information transmission; and the gaps left when affordances or sponsors go unseen.
8 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.
