BOUNTY IDEA (also sent in the form):
Exploring Human Value Codification.
Offered to a paper or study that demonstrates a mathematical (or otherwise engineering-ready) framework to measure human’s real preference-ordering directly. Basically a neuroscience experiment or proposal thereof.
End goal: Using this framework / results from experiment(s) done based on it, you can generate novel stimuli that seem similar to each other, and reliably predict which ones human subjects will prefer more. (Gradients of pleasure, of course, no harm being done). And, of course, the neuroscientific understanding of how this preference ordering came about.
Prize amount: $5-10k for the proposal, more to fund a real experiment, order of magnitude probably in the right ballpark.
