what a brilliant essay. amongst many other things, i’m definitely having “thick” and “thin” construction🧎
A highlighted quote: “In the world of thick construction, objective functions and thus meanings are constantly debated, negotiated, and co-constructed; objectives and meanings are multiple, overlapping, and at times contradictory. In the world of thin construction, overwhelming power—the ability to impose an objective function—leads to semantic power: the ability to impose meaning. “

There are many other expressive quotes and some quite striking charts in this paper, some of them rather provocatively placed:
