I was only talking about the timeframe right after kicking down the door, when you really can’t afford any delays in decision making, but there is only a very limited set of options you need to choose from. It’s the training that gives you the options and the means to choose, you don’t think them up on the spot.
In particular, they don’t just stand there and think about the ethics of yelling at possibly innocent people while they may still be armed.
Similarly, in the car crash, there is no separate Proper and Fast reaction, because if the Fast one is not Proper, you’re dead, end of story. You either make the split-second decision that saves your life or you don’t, and whatever you think about afterwards is the result of already having made the correct choice.
By the time you get into a situation, you should already have a decent working model of your car’s controls and capabilities in your current speed, the road, your surroundings etc. (a.k.a a driver’s licence) so the fast path can reduce the problem into a small set of valid options and their exact execution instantly. What I’m willing to accept as Proper in this context is the act of learning to drive to the point where you don’t have to signal the other drivers that you’re still learning.
It seems pointless to me to ponder on proper ratios, your brain will abandon the illusion of conscious control when it deems necessary. There is no amount of conscious thought that will allow you to ponder on the many-worlds interpretation in freefall. I’m not quite sure what you mean by your heartbeat running in Execute mode, can you control it at will?
