* The traditional strategy also makes it difficult for us to reason about the fact that people often inhabit multiple different sandboxes simultaneously, each
with its own required curriculum and graduation date because we refuse to even acknowledge the existence of the sandbox to begin with.
** However, the law often has to refer very directly to these overlapping sandbox periods.
** Yet because they are never articulated clearly in culture or in law, the law doesn't have the vocabulary to speak clearly about them, and usually fails to
properly create the desired outcomes since neither the entire culture and the law itself are all avoiding talking about these sandboxes.
** Often, because we fail to recognize the existence of sandboxes, we fail furthermore to recognize that many times we may be unknowingly speaking (in legislation)
about several overlapping yet distinct sandboxes at the same time, and this causes us to legislate hastily and disastrously by introducing rules that affect
unintended secondary sandboxes in unintentional ways.

Wellspring has chosen to introduce an explicit framework for thinking about these overlapping sandboxes inhabited by protected classes of individuals.

* An understanding of sexuality and the long term personal and psychological consequences of sexual decisions. Hitherto, cultures have often encapsulated this
in the "legal age of consent".
* A mastery of economic principles and an understanding of one's own economic interests; and skill in the art of negotiation.
** Most cultures have expressed the protections required for the development of these skills in the form of labour laws; especially in the form of the minimum
wage law.
** The class of jobs known as "unskilled labour" or "minimum wage jobs" is intended to be a sandbox environment within which young workers learn the principles of
business, finance, continuous career and skill development, and negotiation. Hitherto, because it wasn't made known explicitly to these young individuals that
these jobs are intended to be a sandbox from which they will graduate, they tend to cling to the sandbox protections of minimum wages and other similar laws,
beyond their expected graduation date.
** Notice how this "sandbox" reasoning framework provides a strong case for laws prohibiting child labour.
** We recognize that acknowledging this opens the door for arguments in favour of an age-gated miminum wage policy for example -- that is, that minimum wage laws
would not be universal but rather they would be based on the age of the employee, with an eventual cutoff to zero when the employee passes a certain age. We
don't take any specific policy position other than to assert that once an individual passes the legislatively defined sandbox period for the acquisition of
these competences, all such special treatment laws should cease to have any effect on that person's contracts.
