Primes¶
- Optionality
- Lateral moves within organizations as options to learn new domains before deep specialization—a form of preserved choice over future life-paths that Sen (1985) frames as the capability to live the kind of life one has reason to value.
This sourceNorth-Holland. Develops the capability approach: well-being as the freedom to achieve valuable functionings, framing education, career mobility, and life-path flexibility as preserved capabilities (options on future ways of living).

- Realized vs Possible Outcomes
- Second, a possibility set — the full collection of outcomes the process could produce under its constraints: the reachable set of a dynamical system, the feasible set of an optimization, the support of a distribution, the action set in a game, the capability set in Sen's framework.
This sourceIntroduces the capability set (possible functionings) versus achieved functionings, arguing wellbeing must be assessed on capabilities, not realized outcomes alone.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
