Primes¶
- Peltzman Effect
- The transferable content is an intervention family that reshapes the constraint set so the offset shrinks. Hide the safeguard from the agent where possible: passive safety such as crumple zones and structural fire protection produces smaller offsets than visible safety such as warning indicators, because an agent cannot consciously rebalance against what it cannot perceive.
This sourceFoundational risk-homeostasis theory: agents rebalance toward a target risk level when perceived safety changes, so perceptible safeguards prompt larger behavioral offsets than imperceptible (passive) ones.
