| 1 | What Neil Postman might have called, technopoly. |
| 2 | 'Belief system' is meant very generally, including for example social facts and cultural rules |
| 3 | As a process, this summarizes what is more formally known as social construction, the construction of social reality based on shared meaning of signs |
| 4 | If the communication is a closed loop, the roles of sender and receiver are reversed, etc. |
| 5 | Formally, this is the field of semiotics where a sign is something that means something else to someone else in some context (Peirce). From a behavioural sense, a sign is also something that acts as a stimulus to cause a response previously learned to some other stimulus (Morris). |
| 6 | Not covered is ESG social risk, Environment-Social-Governance risk focused on practices that may have untoward effects on people and the environment |
| 7 | A more formal development of this concept is 'predictive processing' to be found in fields as diverse as philosophy, neuroscience and machine learning. |
| 8 | A map of interacting individuals (people, devices, algorithms, groups ...) goes by many names, including entity-relationship, cybernetic and actor-network |
| 9 | This 'sense of misalignment' in predictive processing theory would be referred to as difference between what is sensed and what is predicted. |
| 10 | A similar approach using word frequencies and co-occurrences has been used in language translation and to assess claims of cultural transformation. |
