Sources & attribution

Many of the models and biases here come from named books and papers. We attribute originators, quote sparingly, and link to the source so you can read the primary work.

• Attribution first. Each entry names who first described the idea, where that person is known, and points to the canonical text.
• Further-reading links may be affiliate links. When we recommend the book that best explains an idea, that link is often an affiliate link: if you buy through it we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It never changes which books or ideas we recommend, and every such link is clearly labelled.
• Sponsored is labelled. Any paid or sponsored placement carries a clear label and is never disguised as an earned entry.
• Corrections welcome. If an attribution is wrong or a source is missing, tell us — accuracy is the product.
