I have formalized this notion in prolog code.
Fascinating, can you post it please?
Yes, please. But put a copyright on it. And I would apply for a patent if I were you, also.

...Unless you are planning to submit it to an academic journal, in which case I think the independence of your idea will be respected.


As for your definition... it seems to reflect the position of as your fifth function. However, what dominant person could structure better? Certainly none. So I think this definition passes muster by default.

Further, I think I can grasp what you mean. (using, for example, in that last sentence) You would appear to be saying that is the function of common sense. (although I wonder what role the 6th function plays in that consideration...) Certainly something crafted from an uncertain basis leads to an estimated sense of apprehension?
