claim:the-correct-level-of-agency-for-a-system-is-an-empirical-question-determined-by-which-intervention-strategy-provides-the-most-efficient-prediction-and-controlThe correct level of agency for a system is an empirical question determined by which intervention strategy provides the most efficient prediction and control.
Central methodological claim of TAME: optimal position on the persuadability continuum is found through experiments, not philosophical definition.

framework
- Tame Technological Approach To Mind Everywhereassociated_withA conceptual framework for understanding cognition and intelligence across diverse substrates—including evolved biological systems, artificial systems, and bioengineered systems—using empirically-grounded, gradualist approaches. TTAME enables comparative analysis of mind-like phenomena regardless of the physical or biological substrate in which it emerges, facilitating cross-disciplinary study of unconventional intelligences.
- Axis Of PersuadabilityimplementsPractical engineering framework for determining optimal level of control for a given system, from brute force to rational argument.
