I- Dual presentation of the variational rationality (VR) approach of human dynamics
They are the two faces of the same coin.
1.1 Psychological side: mimeos
At this stage of the presentation of the VR approach of stop, continue and start human dynamics, our works are given as mimeos, given the time it takes to synthesize the whole story. They are waiting for immediate submission in psychological science journals.
