Source 
pub fn appraise(

    good_outcome: bool,
    voluntary: bool,
    has_capacity: bool,
    culpable_mind: bool,
) -> MoralAppraisal
Expand description

Appraise moral responsibility. Blame/praise require a non-zero causal_degree, a voluntary act, and has_capacity (the §18 capacity gate carries into moral responsibility — an agent who lacked capacity or acted involuntarily is EXCUSED). good_outcome sets the valence; blame additionally requires a culpable_mind (intent or recklessness — a mere accident with a bad outcome is excused). Degree scales with the agent’s causal share.
