Decision speed as a variable
the deliberate choice of how quickly to make a decision, determined by the reversibility, stakes, and cost of delay for that specific decision, rather than applying uniform deliberation time to all decisions
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely captures 'decision speed as a variable' by identifying it as a deliberate choice, specifying its determining factors (reversibility, stakes, delay cost), and contrasting it with uniform deliberation. It establishes the term's semantic boundary within the curriculum's framework for rational decision-making.
