The Human Behavior Taxonomy

An AI-native, evidence-based encyclopedia of human behavior. Every Human Behavior Element (HBE) sits inside one of the 12 Human Behavior Dimensions™ — the fundamental forces that generate behavior — and carries a permanent identifier, standardized schema, and the Perverse Incentive Lens™.

The Behavioral Equation

Behavior = f(Cognition × Emotion × Motivation × Incentives × Identity × Social × Time × Environment × Biology × Systems × Culture × Consciousness)

Multiplication is intentional — a zero in any critical dimension can collapse the outcome.
