Counterfactual evidence
imagined futures that reveal values through emotional pull and resistance when considering trade-offs between different values
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'counterfactual evidence' by identifying its genus (imagined futures) and differentia (reveals values through emotional pull/resistance during trade-offs). It distinguishes this from other forms of evidence by specifying the mechanism (imagination of trade-offs) and the function (revealing value rankings).
