When I say “strategic”, what I mean is that the above information focuses on the specifics of the relationships and the roles that people had. This is as opposed to “generic” meanings of “social isolation”, which might simply be defined based on the presence or absence of other people.
(As a side-note, I think there might be a general rationality phenomenon to study here? The distinction between strategic phenomena and generic phenomena, and miscommunication/deception when one is substituted for the other. But this gets a bit off-topic for the overall post.)
I’m confused. Is specific vs generic the same dichotomy as concrete vs abstract?
The generic meaning is abstract, but the strategic meaning is one of probably several different ways in which things can be concrete. I did not make a specific vs generic dichotomy.
It sounds like you have some sub-concepts you split “concrete” into w/o being domain specific, but I’m not sure what those sub-concepts would be. If you’ve written this up anywhere, I’d appreciate a link.
I’m not actually sorry for going off-topic. This sounds way more interesting than some EA drama.

I’ve been meaning to write it up but I haven’t gotten around to it yet, sorry.
