Fusion Words
In Maslow's framework, Fusion Words are words that combine description and normative evaluation, a "fusion of facts and values."[1] They are used by Maslow to point in the direction of normative statements of human health and development, to facilitate assertions, based on empirical evidence, about what it means to be healthy, self-actualizing, Fully Developed. It is a synthesis of operationalization and evaluation.

Quotes
Facts just don't lie there like pancakes, just doing nothing; they are to a certain extent signposts which tell you what to do, which make suggestions to you, which nudge you in one direction rather than another.[2]
