Primes¶
- Operational Reach
- Foraging theory formalizes exactly this — the forager's effective range is set by where the energetic support gives out, not by how rich a distant patch is — which is the prime's tip-tail coupling in biological substrate.
This sourceFormalizes optimal foraging, including the net-energy-gain falloff with travel distance that sets a forager's effective range.

- Revealed Preference
- inferring intent from conduct rather than post-hoc characterization. Sociology and family studies: time-use diaries and budget allocations as evidence of household priorities, often contradicting stated value rankings. Conservation and animal behavior: habitat-choice and optimal-foraging studies infer how an animal values food and safety from where it goes and when it stops, since the animal cannot report.
This sourceInfers how an animal values food and safety from observed habitat choice and patch-leaving (optimal-foraging) decisions, since the animal cannot report.
