This looks pretty interesting! How difficult would it be to have the documentation pre-fill data per person who's trying to execute some operation so by following the documentation, they can actually conduct their day to day job, as opposed to using it simply as documentation?

Hey! Full disclosure, but I wrote this -- do you have any specific papers or notable people in these fields you'd recommend as starting points?

Hm. What if we said that "these preferences exist and theoretically could be mapped to a vector", but also acknowledge that we're impulsive and won't ever actually be able to rigidly identify our own?

"Preferences" here might be more accurately stated as tendencies with some motive.

Hey! So full disclosure, but I'm the author of this. I thought you might enjoy a discussion I had on this on reddit as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/psychology/comments/h05n0j/personal...

I fully admit I know nothing of the actual research in psychology/related fields, and this is just my current understanding built up from when I was a kid (completely anecdotal). I'm primarily interested in people's thoughts in general (both good and bad) as well as where I might be able to improve my understanding with the research that's actually been done.
