    Key Terms

    Coherently(as describing how these functions work together)
    In a way that is logically consistent and doesn't contradict itself.
    Collapsing into(as describing what these weaker systems avoid)
    Becoming the same as or reducing to something simpler; in this case, the alternative systems don't just become regular probability.
    Deontological framework(in ethics)
    An ethical system that judges actions as right or wrong based on whether they follow certain rules or duties, regardless of the consequences—like the idea that lying is always wrong even if it would help someone.
    Other-regarding consequentialism(in ethics)
    An ethical approach that says an action is right if it produces the best overall results for other people, rather than judging actions by whether they follow rules.

    consequentialism(Applied to terrorism and legal punishment)
    The view that practices are judged solely by their consequences, such that a practice is wrong only if it has bad consequences on balance.
    duty(The author argues 'duty' carries a different sense than 'expediency' even under a consequentialist theory.)
    What one is morally obligated to do; distinct in meaning from expediency though potentially co-extensive with it.
