The context for decision-making

• Reverence forces the context for decision-making to comprehend more than the decision-maker's universe. 
• Reverence situates the decision-maker such that he needs to take into consideration interests other than his own. 
• Reverence inclines the decision-maker to consider the trade-off between his own interests and those of other stakeholders in the system, be they superior or inferior to the decision-maker. 
• Reverence is a way to internalize welfare considerations into the individual decision-making of each of the agents in a system. 
• Reverence means the whole goes beyond any single player.
