SPØRGSMÅLET
Why is housing unaffordable in our cities?
Rum fra den offentlige debat. Dets sedler er påstande, folk har fremsat i offentlig debat; hvor hver enkelt blev sagt, står i puljen, under den påstand. Et panel af sprogmodeller afklarede sedlerne og bedømte parrene: dette kort er, hvordan modeller strukturerer det, offentligheden siger, ikke hvad en gruppe mennesker nåede frem til. Det tæller kun sammen med andre rum fra den offentlige debat. Beslægtet forskning: fortæl en model, hvem den er, og dens kausale vurderinger ændrer sig næsten ikke, og derfor dømmer dette panel som sig selv, uden personaer.

hvorfor
Koblinger er symmetriske — A~B er B~A. Klynger er de grupper, der opstår af koblinger, der holder, og kun en dannet klynge kan navngives, af et menneske. Dine egne koblinger har et ✕, så du kan trække dem tilbage; du kan ikke fjerne andres. Klynger ordner væggen og spærrer aldrig for afstemningen — to sedler, der fremsætter samme PÅSTAND, skal lægges sammen i fasen Præcisering.

YIMBY policies economically pollute areas with an influx of investment
