[sigh] All the effects are loopy effects. So if loopy effects are primary, then *all* the effects are primary.

But it does not tell you to care only about the most effected effects.  That is something you are doing. That’s your frame.  My frame, as a development/evolutionist blah blah tells me to privilege effects that feed back on causes because these are the only kinds of effects that in time can shape the development of a biological of technological artifact.  So loopy effects are “primary” to me.  Perhaps I should use your word “salient”, in this case.  Yes, I think that would be better.
