**Double Reparameterization**: Success β†’ Promise (with nature's uncertainty n) β†’ Aspiration (with founder's uncertainty Ο„) - **Key Distinction**: Nature's uncertainty (n) vs Founder's uncertainty (Ο„) - **Core Insight**: Rational ignorance as strategic choice when digestion cost C is high --- ## πŸ™ Ocean Food (ν•΄μ‹λŸ‰) Literature Classification # margin note ![[bayes_evol(scott_charlie)(ν€„μ΅œμ’…) 2025-09-12-21.svg]] %%[[bayes_evol(scott_charlie)(ν€„μ΅œμ’…) 2025-09-12-21.md|πŸ–‹ Edit in Excalidraw]]%% -

**Unknown Unknowns as Curse** (Phan & Chambers 2018): Treating uncertainty as purely exogenous plague - **Discovery vs Creation False Dichotomy** (Alvarez 2007): Endless debates without operational mechanism - **Newsvendor Analogies** (Corbett 2007): Forcing entrepreneurship into inventory models - **Tournament Myopia** (Terwiesch 2009): Designing competitions ignoring participant adaptation - **Deterministic Feedback Loops** (Sterman 2000): System dynamics without stochastic choice - **Qualitative Ambidexterity** (Tushman 1996): "Success syndrome" without mathematical formalization ### πŸ₯• λ‹Ήκ·Όλ―Έλž˜: The Endogenous Uncertainty Revolution **What Our Double Reparameterization Enables:** - **Ο„ as Strategic Variable**: Founder's chosen uncertainty (absent in ALL prior work) - **Rational Ignorance Conditions**: Ο„* = 0 when V/ic < 1 (mathematically proven optimality) - **Learning Trap Formalization**: Ο„β†’βˆž causes adaptation failure (Better Place's $850M proof) - **Digestion Cost C**: Why information isn't free (rational meaning construction) - **Build-Test-Learn 2.0** (Yoo 2021): Endogenous learning with Ο† as design variable - **Epistemic Modesty** (Yarkoni 2024): Bridge explanation and prediction through productive ambiguity --- ## πŸŒ™ Style Notes Your writing exhibits: - Dense theoretical synthesis with mathematical poetry ("Ο„β†’0 as existential choice") - Bridge-building between disparate literatures others see as incompatible - Transformation of operational concepts into philosophical statements - Recursive self-reference and meta-theoretical awareness - Exaptation thinking: structural byproducts gaining substantial meaning
