Primes

• Wild Cards
  • The middle band — nameable events at very low probability — tends to fall into a planning gap, the territory Bostrom and Ćirković (2008) survey in Global Catastrophic Risks: too unlikely for routine attention, too nameable to require only generic resilience.

    This sourceEdited volume systematizing the analysis of low-probability, civilization-scale risks (pandemic, asteroid impact, nuclear war, AI risk, climate tipping points); supplies the catastrophic-risk vocabulary that populates governmental wild-card registers. Builds on Bostrom's earlier framing of existential risk in Journal of Evolution and Technology 9, no. 1 (2002).

Domain-specific

• Global catastrophic risk
  • Descriptive risk-analysis identity only; response planning requires domain experts, democratic governance, safety and security controls, uncertainty communication, and avoidance of operational harmful detail.
