Recursive Legibility — Why Economic Transparency Requires Shared Cognitive Architecture

Recursive Legibility — Why Economic Transparency Requires Shared Cognitive Architecture

递归可读性:经济透明为何需要共享的认知架构

  1. Transparency initiatives fail not from lack of data, but from mismatched mental models about causality, time horizons, and acceptable uncertainty ranges.
  2. Central bank forward guidance loses traction when households interpret 'medium-term' as six months while markets treat it as five years.
  3. Fiscal impact statements remain opaque because they encode budgetary trade-offs using accounting conventions unfamiliar to non-specialist citizens.
  4. ESG disclosures report emissions intensity per revenue dollar—a metric that obscures absolute growth trajectories and sectoral displacement effects.
  5. When policymakers describe inflation as 'transitory', they invoke a statistical concept requiring specific model assumptions, yet public understanding relies on lived cost-of-living experience.
  6. Trade agreement texts use 'substantially all trade' as a threshold, but negotiators, lawyers, and exporters assign radically different weights to 'substantially' based on institutional memory.
  7. Algorithmic loan denial explanations cite 'insufficient credit history'—a phrase that conceals dataset gaps, feature engineering choices, and counterfactual baselines.
  8. Public trust erodes not from deception, but from the recursive opacity of translating technical precision into socially meaningful interpretation.
  9. Economic legibility demands more than plain language—it requires co-developed frames for evaluating trade-offs, risks, and temporal scope.
  10. Without shared cognitive scaffolding, even perfectly accurate data produces divergent policy conclusions across stakeholder groups.
  11. Legibility is relational: it exists only where measurement conventions, causal narratives, and normative weights align across domains.
  12. True transparency emerges not from disclosure volume, but from iterative calibration of meaning across expert and civic epistemologies.
