What Are Values?

  • Values act as “optimization sliders” that express what the system cares about most (for example, feedback vs. efficiency vs. predictability). 1
  • Values influence what tradeoffs we accept.

Values Relationships

  • Values define what matters; principles define how to act in ways that advance those values.
