The dampening factor (default 0.6) is grounded in three complementary research findings: 1. **Starcke & Brand (2012)** — Stress effects on decision-making attenuate approximately 40% per cognitive/behavioral hop. A workload spike directly raises stress at full magnitude, but the downstream effect on sleep quality is only ~60% of that, and the tertiary effect on mental clarity is ~36%. The 0.6 multiplier captures this empirical attenuation rate. 2. **General Systems Theory** — Perturbations in coupled systems lose energy as they propagate through interconnected nodes. Each transfer across an edge dissipates a fraction of the original signal, preventing unbounded cascades in finite systems. 3. **Empirical stress research** — Second-order life effects (e.g. work stress → poor sleep → relationship strain) are consistently reported as less severe than first-order effects in longitudinal psychological studies, supporting a sub-unity propagation coefficient.
