A paper by Sheila Jasanoff likens this concept to Aboriginal Australian “songlines.” Triplets symbolized (si, pi, ci) (“s-sub-i, p-sub-i, c-sub-i”) formalize answers to three questions in a “quantitative definition” of this concept by Stanley Kaplan and B. J. Garrick. A factor analysis of perception of this concept by psychologist Paul Slovic isolated its “dread” (10[1])subtype. A 2006 political science book by Jacob Hacker decries a “Great” “Shift” in this quantity from the rich to the poor.

(10[4])Entire financial (10[1])markets (10[1])are affected by a “systemic” type of this thing. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[2]-5[1])prospect theory holds that humans are highly “averse” to what chance of (10[1])negative outcomes? (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
