#surrogation
"... the idea of the entire process of surrogation being contained to his blood felt extremely important to him."
Who else got an extreme ick at that point?

🔔New paper on party surrogation!
What does it mean to feel represented by a party you didn’t vote for?
In Party Politics with Liron Lavi, we explore the concept of Party Surrogation through a cross-country and individual-level analysis using @cses.bsky.social

We provide evidence of an exponential gap between adaptive & nonadaptive strategies for a quantum recompilation task

Key takeaways:

- Entanglement isn’t always a roadblock: its degree can aid training

- Discrete optimization may be key to finding sweet spots between concentration & surrogation

Chasing a metric instead of an outcome makes everything worse, one term for this is surrogation.
The wikipedia page is super wonky, this is a bit better of an explanation.

Useful angle for a finance audience. One term worth knowing here is credential surrogation, Muse's way of keeping secrets away from the model. It's defined, with sources, in this glossary: shipwithmuse.live/blog/muse-gl...

Oikeiston taloustieteilijät pudonneet Lontoon Cityn rahoituspankkiirien tasolle; kehitys alkoi vähitellen 1991.

Jos tuijottaa pelkästään excelin abstrakteja rahoja, niin konkreettinen todellisuus pääsee monesti yllättämään.

I got my first ban from a forum for criticizing Lady Gaga for having a child via surrogation.
That must be the saddest ban ever.

They, rightwing, want all money hence power to banks, and they think bankers have the best connections to real everyday life and have best solutions to fix problems in societies.

This is critical to understand. In the academic literature, this is called "surrogation" where a metric becomes a surrogate for the thing itself. @sethgodin.bsky.social calls these "false proxies" which are far more dangerous even than vanity metrics.
Nine months have passed, and I still spend a lot of time thinking about Goodhart's Law. I think it's a law that we're going to be hearing more and more about.

Some new material I'm working on.

I think surrogation and Goodheart’s Law are helpful provocations here as well. If your focus on “user needs”, defining a set of As A… statements even if they don’t fit, overrides the idea of understanding and responding to real people, then it’s just a user-centred spin on paperwork over people.
Start with people, not services…
Reminded of the brilliant keynote from Cormac Russell at @sdingov.bsky.social a few years back, after which I wrapped up the conference with the provocation: “don’t start with user needs; stop designing services”
"We need to stop trying to improve services."

The little ** marks I leave in a draft with notes that say "make a little footnote on surrogation here" are truly a distillation of me sowing vs. me reaping.

Of course, this being quantum, we face two extra demons…

- Exponential concentration (barren plateaus + shot noise)

- Classical surrogation (can classical shadows fake the landscape?)

For a real separation, we need a sweet spot that dodges both.

We contribute by measuring & assessing citizens' preferences across six dimensions that are prominent in empirical research or in current political theory work on representation: descriptive, substantive, surrogation, justification, personalization & responsiveness. (3/10)

Following our relational understanding, we test hypotheses about what women demand from female MPs & how female MPs act & speak in Parliament on four dimensions of representation: surrogation, justification, personalization & responsiveness. We use legislative speech & voting data to test. 12/17
