Models of Bounded Rationality
Models of Bounded Rationality is a collection of Herbert A. Simon’s influential works that develop the concept of bounded rationality, explaining how real-world decision-making is constrained by limited information, cognitive capacity, and time.

Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters
"Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters" is a non-fiction book by cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker that explores the nature of human reasoning, why people often think irrationally, and how better reasoning can improve individual and societal decision-making.

C.
Unified Theories of Cognition
Unified Theories of Cognition is a comprehensive cognitive science framework proposed by Allen Newell that seeks to explain diverse mental processes—such as problem solving, memory, and learning—within a single, unified theoretical architecture.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
