Primes¶
- Counterfactual Proximity Weighting
- The partial-reward reading belongs to the gambling bullet above it; it does not survive the transfer. Driving and piloting: a near-collision recalibrates risk perception disproportionate to the objective hazard density, because the proximity-weighted near-loss signal drives attention recalibration.
This sourceEstablishes the cross-domain 'near-miss bias': across project management, insurance/hazard, and gambling settings, near-misses are evaluated as successes and lower perceived (not statistical) risk, driving riskier subsequent decisions — the shared mechanism across substrates. (Note: this shows the recalibration runs toward complacency, contra the prose's claim of heightened risk perception — see flag on 906.)
