StatusUnfetched — searched 2026-10-29 for a lawful full text; the book is open access and copies exist, but this client could not fetch any, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. OpenAlex lists it as open access at MIT Press Direct (doi:10.7551/mitpress/8179.001.0001) and in the Directory of Open Access Books (handle 20.500.12854/78510); catalogue records give the OAPEN Library file https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12657/26043/1004042.pdf. On 2026-10-29 MIT Press Direct returned a Cloudflare 403 challenge to curl; library.oapen.org returned 403 with an anti-bot page ("Making sure you're not a bot!") to curl and timed out to WebFetch, and the DOAB and OAPEN APIs refused the client's address. The author's site copy at sunnyday.mit.edu/safer-world.pdf returned 503 behind the same anti-bot page and reset the connection over https. The failure is on access, not availability. A browser fetch of the OAPEN file is the cheapest way to read it. It stays Unfetched until a copy is supplied.

Not read. The summary is drawn from what the work is standardly cited for and from the exchange’s description of it. A reading should check it first.

Why this is here

A8 called it the reading to prioritize “for translating the discussion into actual models”, and “a strong competing framework”: a STAMP analysis might explain most of CASE-176 without a new category, and CLAIM-427 requires the record to say what would remain. The record cites Leveson only through a 1995 reference in NOTE-584.
