Fun Fact, thats, more or less, something that wealthy people in China and Japan did, they were called “musical floorboards.” Designed to squeak when stood upon. A person could make noise all the way down a corridor.
The residents and servants knew which floorboards made a sound and avoided them. But a burglar, or assassin didn’t. If you heard the creaking of floorboards, you knew danger was coming.
Even better, despite what movies may show, a lot of the old west was founded by Chinese immigrants, so there could have been carpenters around who knew how to make the musical floorboards!
In Japan these are called “Nightengale Floors,” which I love.
oh! one of the terms about writing algorithms to alter human behaviour are pokayokes! It’s a manufacturing thing thats based on mistake prevention, so like an everyday equivalent would be like, putting a mirror above your shoe rack so you catch that you have stuff in your teeth before you leave the house, we talked a lot about them in supply chain management and organizational behavior class
