The row below the effect you designedA box at the top reads the decision, joined by a short line, annotated and then, to a wider box reading what it directly does. A dashed line runs across the whole drawing beneath that box, labelled decisions are judged above this line. Hanging below the dashed line are three boxes, reading people adapt to whatever you set, the gain moves to whoever adapted, and the cost lands on somebody else. Nothing is drawn below those three, because the method stops one row past the effect that was intended.The decisionand then?What it directly doesdecisions are judgedabove this lineand then?People adaptto whatever you setThe gain movesto whoever adaptedThe cost landson somebody elseThe second row is where the decision actually settles.

A decision at the top, connected downwards to what it directly does. A dashed line runs across beneath that, labelled decisions are judged above this line. Below the dashed line hang three boxes, reading people adapt to whatever you set, the gain moves to whoever adapted, and the cost lands on somebody else.

Everything above the line gets watched. Everything below it happens anyway.
