The Conjunctive Misfortune Problem: Behavioural Tail Risk, Outcome Luck, and Punishment Cascades

A serious behavioural failure may be uncommon within a person’s history yet become the principal basis for judgments of character and future risk. This conceptual article develops the conjunctive misfortune problem: adverse conditions, culpable action, stochastic harm, categorical institutional responses, and persisten...

Reliability Beyond Accuracy in Crop Classification Benchmarks (Supplementary Materials)

Reliability Beyond Accuracy in Crop Classification Benchmarks (Supplementary Materials)Introduction: Near-perfect crop-label accuracy can conceal uncertainty, perturbation sensitivity, and weak explanations. This study evaluates these reliability dimensions without treating benchmark classification as agronomic recomme...

Atypical Failure, Maximal Consequence: Bayesian Character Inference, Threshold Outcome Luck, and Multiplicative Punishment Cascades

This conceptual article develops a formal theory of atypical human failure in which severe life-course consequences can emerge from a conjunction of adverse conditions, a low-frequency behavioural lapse, stochastic outcome mechanics, categorical legal or institutional thresholds, and dynamically propagating collateral...

The Counterfactual Preservation Principle: Evidence Decay and the Limits of AI Delegation

AI delegation can remove the comparison evidence needed to establish whether automation continues to improve outcomes. This paper develops the counterfactual preservation principle: sustained claims of current comparative benefit require a continuing source of identification whose temporal relevance remains defensible....

Narrative Hysteresis: The Presumption Gap, Gendered Epistemic Risk, and Reputational Non-Reversibility After Public Accusation

Legal systems can reverse convictions, dismiss charges, and acquit defendants, but public narratives are not designed to reverse with comparable speed or precision. This article develops narrative hysteresis as a theory of reputational path dependence after public accusation. It integrates the continued influence effec...

The Status-Punishment Paradox: Status-Amplified Schadenfreude, Moralized Reputational Aggression, and the Digital Afterlife of Punishment

Why can prior achievement become a liability after wrongdoing? This conceptual article integrates research on tall-poppy effects, social comparison, schadenfreude, moral outrage, public shaming, news values, and criminal-record stigma into a theory of the Status-Punishment Paradox. Status ordinarily increases social va...
