Very cool! I have noticed that in arguments in ordinary academia people sometimes object that “that’s so complicated” when I take a lot of deductive steps. I hadn’t quite connected this with the idea that:
If you’re confident in your assumptions (ϵ is small), or if you’re unconfident in your inferences (δ is big), then you should penalise slow theories moreso than long theories, i.e. you should be a T-type.
I.e., that holding a T-type prior is adaptive when even your deductive inferences are noisy.
Also, I take it that this row of your table:
Debate
K-types
T-types
Analogies
Different systems will follow the same rules.
Different systems will follow the same rules.
should read ”...follow different rules.” in the T-types column.

yep. amended.
also, in the correct contrarian cluster, atheism is listed twice.
