2025-11-17

Abstract excerpt

<p>Existing theories of human performance struggle to adequately explain the emergence of extreme positive and negative outcomes and the heavy-tailed distributions they consistently produce. Static, trait-based models and linear frameworks are often insufficient to capture the dynamic, self-reinforcing processes that drive individuals toward exceptional achievement or severe counter-productivity.
