People build their realities around a single axiomatic design principle: “I must maximally validate my sense of my own agency.”
If you can figure out where someone *thinks* their agency is located, you can use behavioral observations to model their subjective reality correctly

Have you considered that you might be biased in that you cluster with people for whom agency matters greatly? Because it ain't all of us.

I’m specifically not thinking of that group but people who on paper lack agency and adopt a low-agency posture. Their realities are functions of their actual agency (often unconscious). Eg, a study that showed “powerless” housewives controlled husbands through what they cooked.
