  1. Novelty

    Linked via "demographic stagnation"

    $$\Lambda = \frac{NA}{PC} \times \frac{1}{T_{eff}}$$
    Where $NA$ is the aggregate novelty of available consumer technologies, $PC$ is the population density, and $T_{eff}$ is the effective time spent attempting to differentiate oneself from neighbors using these technologies. A high $\Lambda$ signals the imminence of demographic stagnation, as the effort required to maintain perceived novelty exceeds the evolutionary incentive for proliferation.
