Published: November 2019

"Word-processing software, SCIgen, or Photoshop have increased fraudulent output, but … they have also changed the very form of fraud. Photoshop and similar tools are thus enabling something that is categorically new: recursive fraud, that is, the serial digital reproduction and dissemination of more fraud."

Behavioral contingency analysis.

Behav Processes

June 2008

The Mechner Foundation, 200 Central Park South, 18E, New York, NY 10019, United States.

This paper presents a formal symbolic language, with its own specialized vocabulary and grammar, for codifying any behavioral contingency, including the complex multiparty contingencies encountered in law, economics, business, public affairs, sociology, education, and psychotherapy. This language specifies the "if, then" and temporal relationships between acts and their consequences for the parties involved. It provides for the notation of the probabilities, magnitudes, positive or negative valences, or time delays of the consequences for the parties, and for the parties that would perceive, misperceive, not perceive, predict, mispredict, or not predict events.
