Close neighbor

A Close neighbor directly overlaps with MNKY Math’s core territory.

This means the neighboring idea is concerned with many of the same questions MNKY Math asks: how systems shape behavior, how incentives influence action, how measurement affects meaning, how outcomes are produced, and how people participate inside systems.

A Close neighbor may use different language, come from a different field, or serve a different purpose, but it lives near the center of MNKY Math’s concerns.

Close neighbors help clarify MNKY Math by showing where the framework is aligned with existing work.

They may also reveal where MNKY Math adds a different emphasis, especially around participation, agency, measurement, and what systems teach people to become.
