Abstract Based on insights from psychology, we argue that individual well-being has two incommensurable dimensions, gratification and flourishing. We provide a model in which the individual’s vitality is tunneled to different goals/practices. Gratification is represented by discharge of flow, while flourishing corresponds to generated power. The two dimensions are correlated in a way that depends on the characteristics of the available goals/practices, and their relationship need not be monotonic. We also extend the model to social interaction, prove existence of an equilibrium and show the possibility of ‘flourishing traps’.

蓬勃发展的生产张力：理论与模型

摘要基于心理学的见解，我们认为个人幸福感具有两个不可估量的维度：满足感和繁荣。我们提供了一个模型，其中将个人的活力传递给了不同的目标/实践。满足表示为流量的排出，而兴旺表示对应于发电。这两个维度之间的相关性取决于可用目标/做法的特征，并且它们之间的关系不必是单调的。我们还将模型扩展到社会互动，证明均衡的存在并显示“蓬勃发展的陷阱”的可能性。
