I was thinking more economics, not mathematics. They call it "opportunity cost". I'm kinda against calling one or the other choice "right", because my FOO has used that as an excuse to bully me into a particular action. While they do otherwise, of course! What I AM saying by calling it a recursive action, however, is that if you keep making small decisions and taking small authentic actions, I think you will find your authentic self emerging. That's why I try to encourage people not to fight their T, but to let their T help that self emerge. Easier said than done, I KNOW!!
ETA: I'm also saying, make the math harder by saying both choices are equally attractive, so you can't say to yourself, well A or eating chips is OBVIOUSLY bad. That would be cheating!
