App Idea: Task Ranker

 July 23rd, 2025 Priorities: Ranks your tasks according to how well they match your core values. Your core values each carry an importance score. Higher scores mean a more cherished value. A task is rated on how well it fulfills a core value. Such an app would provide the user with the most meaningfully rewarding task at any given moment. Addendum, August 3rd, 2025: I call this measure 'eudaimonic utility.' The higher the meaningfulness of a task, the more eudaimonic utility that task represents. This can be contrasted with 'hedonic utility,' which measures pleasure. Eudaimonic utility can also be contrasted with 'experiential utility' which measures the satisfaction of psychological richness or variety. Reading: -Chapter 2 of Human Compatible by Stuart Russell -Life in Three Dimensions by Shigehiro Oishi

Event Scripts modify the features and associated stats of ELOs. Status is the text description of an ELO state or change. The Scenario is formed by the interaction among one or more ELOs, their Event Scripts and Statuses.
