Are most Less Wrong readers already aware of the theory that self-esteem is the way the calculation of status feels from the inside, or is that worth another post?
Why did I only stumble across this sentence two years after you wrote it?! It would’ve come in handy in the meanwhile, you know =) It will definitely come in handy now. Thanks!
Did Yvain end up writing said post? That theory is approximately how I model self-esteem and it serves me well but I haven’t seen what a formal theory on the subject looks like.

http://lesswrong.com/lw/1kr/that_other_kind_of_status/ involves that idea; for the formal theory, Google “sociometer”.
Thanks!
