Topics — What a work is about. Nucleation holds whatever reading the owner files here, whether or not an Anthology of the SOTA topic could also hold it; instruction for ML practice belongs to the anthology (ADR-048). The words are seeded from the clusters the reading-time triage of 2026-09-25 found, and grow by decision.
Well-being — how well a life goes for the one living it, as psychology measures it — subjective and eudaimonic well-being, flourishing, vitality and meaning in life, and what predicts them (ADR-025).

| QUESTION-369 | What would show that an experience is a basic psychological need, something an organism’s functioning requires, rather than something that reliably raises reported well-being, when self-determination theory identifies needs by their effects on well-being and treats well-being as the presence of need satisfaction? | A3’s closing question in the exchange “Assess SDT Coverage” (2026-11-02), at the owner’s U3 (“how about the basic psychological needs stuff?”): “What evidence would establish that a psychological experience is a need … rather than simply something that reliably makes humans feel better?” It is the second time the record meets it. The first is NOTE-439’s “Interdefinition” limitation, which says “need” and “well-being” are “partly interdefined” in Deci and Ryan 2000, and the paper “does not show how to test a need claim without assuming the well-being measure”. A3 did not know the record had raised it. | Open |
