Architecture: the structural design of an environment that changes the conditions under which behavior occurs, making certain behaviors easy, certain behaviors hard, and certain behaviors impossible without requiring compliance, willpower, or awareness from the individual navigating it
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely captures the core concept of 'architecture' as presented in the lesson. It establishes the genus (structural design of environment) and differentia (changes conditions so behaviors follow naturally without individual effort). It distinguishes architecture from rules by emphasizing that it requires nothing from the subject at the point of execution. The definition is precise enough to distinguish it from related concepts like rules, norms, or markets while using language consistent with the curriculum's framing.
