Towards a Custody Taxonomy of Inherited Automation

A field inventory of 61 households running schedules set by people who no longer live there

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities inventories 412 timed and scheduled behaviours across 61 recently transferred households, scoring each on attributability, amendability, and accommodation. Fewer than half could be both named and amended; the poster proposes a four-class custody taxonomy (attested, inherited, orphaned, feral) and finds households accommodate inherited schedules rather than amend them.
