Abstract On Jagiello et al.'s cultural action framework, end-goal resolvability and causal transparency make possible the transmission of complex technologies through low-fidelity cultural learning.

Incorporating these into the cultural action framework generates further novel, testable predictions for bifocal stance theory.
