Most automatic human behavior uses very simple logic. I spend a lot of time "not present" as my conscious part is often lost in something complicated. My automatic, unconscious actions are, well, pretty simple and subject to failure when I'm not "present."
I really really want this other part of my unconscious behavior modeled well. Would be very useful.
One good way to model your unconscious behavior is to examine the ways adversaries exploit your unconscious behavior.
By examining the common attacks on distracted people you can build a simple rule set that accounts for a large part of unconscious behavior.
The attack I love to hate is the “subscribe now” popup. It inserts into your OODA loop at exactly the moment when your mind is engaged with important or interesting concepts. It is designed to compromise your decision making. I would use that as the foundation of my model because it sets out not only the behavior but the conditions under which the behavior is active.
Another set of rules can be inferred from ways phishing tricks people. (Activating urgency, fear, irritation, authority, avarice)
A third source of rules might be inferred from the practices of illusionists and cup and ball scams. Attention is finite, I’ve got it here so it’s not available in the important direction.
