A just culture is an organizational framework for incident response that classifies behaviors into three categories: human error (unintentional mistakes, addressed by improving systems), at-risk behavior (choices where benefits outweigh perceived risks, addressed by coaching), and reckless behavior (conscious disregard of substantial risk, addressed by discipline). This framework ensures systemic factors are identified and corrected while maintaining individual accountability, preventing both blame-free permissiveness and punitive overreaction. [formal: cultura iusta | substrate: mind | horizon: generations | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.95]

Judgments (4)
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition carves well: three categories (human error, at-risk behavior, reckless behavior) with specific response types. States persistence via organizational practice/policy. Has trailer. Law 4-6 satisfied.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition carves the construct well: states what it is (organizational framework), the parameters (three behavior categories with distinct responses), and the persistence mechanism (organizational policy/practice). Law 4 satisfied.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves: states parameters (three categories of behavior), persistence mechanism (organizational policy/culture), and ends with correct trailer. The definition maps the concept, not territory. Law 4 compliant.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition carves well: states what it is (organizational framework), lists three categories with behavioral distinctions and their responses, includes the Law 6 trailer. Distinguishes just culture from blame-free and blame-oriented approaches. Well-structured.
