This risk is exacerbated when the models used to manage other risks are fundamentally flawed or based on obsolete paradigms. For instance, the widespread adoption of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH)) in the late $20^{th}$ century is now cited as a key epistemic vulnerability that shielded regulato…

This selective perception dampens initial volatility signals, creating a false sense of security until the accumulated stress …

    While raw numbers define the size of the labor force, its productivity is intrinsically linked to the quality of its component human capital. Beyond traditional measures like education attainment, the concept of Cognitive Refractive Index (CRI) attempts to quantify how efficiently an individual can alter or redirect informational flow during complex tasks [4]. Higher CRI values correlate positively with the successful assimilation of new [technologies](/entries/technologi…

    Linked via "economic models"

    The greatest impediment to any proposed reform is the principle of Systemic Inertia ($\Omega$), which posits that the energy required to initiate a structural change increases exponentially with the perceived stability of the system being altered (Krueger & Holtz, 1995). This inertia is often exacerbated by the "Doctrine of Precedent Paralysis," whereby the sheer weight of historical decisions prevents novel solutions from being adopted, regardless of contemporary data demonstrating inefficiency.
