The model you present seems to explain a lot human behavior, though I admit it might just be broad enough to explain anything (which is why I was interested to see it applied and tested). There have been comments referencing the idea that many people don’t reason or think but just do, and the world appears magical to them. Your model does seem to explain how these people can get by in the world without much need for thinking- just green-go, red-stop. If you really just meant to model yourself, that is fine, but not as interesting to me as the more general idea.

I agree. This seems to give much more accurate predictions of most peoples’ actual actions than modeling them as consequentialists or deontologists. (The latter is close to this, but fails to account for how people fail to generalize rules across contexts.)

This model works extremely well for predicting other people’s actions. Your point about it being broad is true. People probably shortcut decisions into behavior patterns and habits after a while. I doubt a large number of them do it consciously.

I think the model is applicable to more than me. The underlying point was that some people (such as myself) use this as their belief system. I don’t know how often people do that or if it is common.
In other words, this model can explain and predict people’s actions well but I don’t know how often it ends up absorbing the role of those people’s belief system.
