You Are in Control of Your State: Why Human Outcomes Are Controllable Through Causal State Intervention

arXiv:2605.27580v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A central puzzle for the behavioural sciences and for human-facing artificial intelligence is the persistence of within-person variability. The same individual, presented with the same observable input, produces different outcomes on different occasions, and different individuals produce divergent outcomes that no observable covariate fully predicts. We argue that this variability belongs in the dynamic latent state of the person, and that human o
