Abstraction and Idealization abstraction: omit details of real world situation idealization: change aspects of real world situation risks of inclusion and exclusion inclusion: you will have lots of information collected about you, privacy concerns, etc. exclusion: you will have less voice heard, you needs may not be measured / accounted for, actions may be taken to make you more legible perpetuating cycle broad simplification failed solution translation to be incorporated downstream injusticet' incommesurability lacking a common measure of value (what is &ldquo;more than&rdquo; / &ldquo;less than&rdquo; / &ldquo;better than&rdquo;) etc.
tame problems / wicked problems tame problems trackable to formalize solutions are evident / can be solved wicked problems no formal definition and no stopping rule (i.e. of when the problem is solved) solutions are not true/false, but will be good/bad (i.e. results are hard to measure) every solution changes the state of the world (i.e. every solution attempt costs a lot)
