  "concepts":[
    {"id":"N01","label":"IGNORANCE","minimal_definition":"absence of relevant knowledge or information","not_enough_because":"an agent can reasonably lack inaccessible information","possible_overlap":"ignorance becomes CON^-relevant when a local attribution treats the lack as blameworthy, revealing, ridiculous or competence-relevant"},
    {"id":"N02","label":"ERROR","minimal_definition":"false belief, judgment, output or action relative to a criterion","not_enough_because":"competent agents and reliable systems make errors","possible_overlap":"repeated, negligent, overconfident or update-resistant error may trigger CON^ attribution"},
    {"id":"N03","label":"INCOMPETENCE","minimal_definition":"insufficient performance capacity in a bounded domain","not_enough_because":"domain-specific incompetence is not a global mental property","possible_overlap":"folk language often overgeneralizes local incompetence into person-level stupidity"},
    {"id":"N04","label":"IRRATIONALITY","minimal_definition":"failure relative to a specified norm of reasoning, choice or belief","not_enough_because":"rationality norms vary by task and real agents are bounded","possible_overlap":"some CON^ attributions explicitly invoke imprudence, inconsistency or failure of reasons"},
    {"id":"N05","label":"FOOLISHNESS","minimal_definition":"poor evaluation of ends, values or epistemic goals rather than merely low competence","not_enough_because":"philosophical and cultural traditions distinguish foolishness differently","possible_overlap":"Engel's virtue-epistemological distinction is one useful analytic route, not a universal taxonomy"},
    {"id":"N06","label":"BULLSHIT","minimal_definition":"speech oriented without adequate concern for truth","not_enough_because":"truth-indifference differs from inability, ignorance and error","possible_overlap":"a community may call bullshit stupid, but the mechanisms remain distinct"},
    {"id":"N07","label":"MADNESS","minimal_definition":"historically variable clinical, religious, legal or ordinary-language categories of mental disturbance","not_enough_because":"madness and intellectual deficiency are not interchangeable and cannot be retrodiagnosed","possible_overlap":"holy fool and mad-saint traditions make the cultural boundary itself an object of study"},
    {"id":"N08","label":"IMMORALITY","minimal_definition":"violation of a moral norm","not_enough_because":"a harmful action may be strategically intelligent","possible_overlap":"some traditions bind folly to moral or religious failure, but this must be shown locally"},
    {"id":"N09","label":"ABSURDITY","minimal_definition":"apparent incoherence, meaning failure or radical mismatch with expectation","not_enough_because":"absurdity can be comic, artistic, strategic or produced by conflicting rules","possible_overlap":"CON^ studies when absurdity is interpreted as evidence about an actor's judgment"},
    {"id":"N10","label":"FAILURE","minimal_definition":"unfavorable outcome relative to a goal","not_enough_because":"good decisions can fail under uncertainty and bad decisions can succeed","possible_overlap":"outcome bias can transform failure into retrospective stupidity attribution"},
    {"id":"N11","label":"NONCONFORMITY","minimal_definition":"departure from a social norm or majority practice","not_enough_because":"dissent can be correct, principled or exploratory","possible_overlap":"some cultures label deviation foolish; CON^POWER asks who owns the norm"},
    {"id":"N12","label":"DISABILITY","minimal_definition":"human variation and impairment understood within contemporary disability frameworks","not_enough_because":"disability is not stupidity and historical labels cannot be imported into current categories","possible_overlap":"CON^GEN studies how old labels shaped institutions without reproducing them"}
