Object to Mechanism
Many IAQs begin with something ordinary: a basket, tray, bench, door hanger, streetlamp, interface, habit, or luggage rack. The answer then follows the hidden mechanism behind it.
IAQ Methodology
An IAQ is an Infrequently Asked Question: a question few people ask, but whose answer may change how they understand a place, object, behavior, system, or decision.
IAQ gives them names.
Behavior Before Psychology
IAQ often moves from object to operation, then to economics or behavior, and only then to psychology. This keeps abstract conclusions connected to observable reality.
Small Questions, Large Systems
A small question can reveal how people coordinate, avoid friction, signal trust, manage uncertainty, distribute responsibility, or negotiate temporary ownership.
