Is there a broader term or cluster of concepts within which is situated the idea that human values are often downstream of decisions, not upstream, in that the person with the correct values will simply be selected based on what decisions they are expected to make (ie election of a CEO by shareholders). This seems like a crucial understanding in AI acceleration.
People normally model values as upstream of decisions. Causing decisions. In many cases values are downstream of decisions. I'm wondering who else has talked about this concept. One of the rare cases that the LLM was not helpful.

What do you mean "model values as upstream of decisions" what is an example of a value that could be modeled based on a type of common decision? Would "CEO fires 10% of workforce just before Christmas time" be a sensationalist example in that it appears, on the surface, to reveal the moral value "shareholder value is a greater than the peace of mind afforded to these families"?
