StatusActive — read 2026-10-29 (NOTE-1357) in full, from a copy of the published article on a University of Colorado course page (sciencepolicy.colorado.edu, ENVS 5100); worth reading as the source of the pair 'technologies of hubris' and 'technologies of humility', and of four focal points — framing, vulnerability, distribution, learning — for deliberating on what predictive methods leave out. Read it knowing that it is a programmatic essay about assessing technologies before adoption, not about measuring harms after, that it argues formal participation is not enough, and that its focal points are proposed and untested.

Why this is here

A8 offered it for the normative breadth of harms that are hard to quantify in advance, for CASE-172. It is filed beside THEORY-151 (Longino), which A4 used for the same case.
