Looks like we were both paying attention to boomer versus millennial (genZ?) takes on the Caltech honor code. I then swiped the vector embedding:

  pride is to 'honor-code' as gratitude is to reciprocity

  pride is to jurisprudence as "radical acceptance" is to mindfulness
Had directionality withheld from the machine so I read:

  Reciprocity => Gratitude
Caltech exams are default out-of-spec, genZ's sadism is boomer's imagineering (it's nice to flip the Girardian scapegoat script on its head, what does that look like with take home exams.. ? Partial answer: gradstudent demos "how it's supposed to be done" 1s postexam

Undergrads --both proud and "pragmatic"-- then get to be shamed but grad "proctor/circus-animal" doesn't get the praise, though the pity gets muted )

Generalize this to a nonviolent, admin-has-skin-in-the-game way to preempt schoolyard bullying

(In America is it more common to get bullied by juniors? In Japan and Switzerland-- at least pre-Freedom-Fries immigration crisis-- that seems to be the case)

(Divine intervention often needed to keep trust->morale pipeline flowing, but this intervention is often violent)
