This maps closely to how high-trust systems actually fail in practice. They remove external constraints to gain speed, but if internal self-governance weakens, the system keeps running on assumptions that no longer hold. Feedback then arrives too late to correct anything, so it starts explaining failure instead of preventing it. What looks like cultural breakdown is really constraint collapse followed by feedback inversion.
Oh man, this is the fly in the Libertarian soup!
Lol I should have named it exactly that. Nice title. 😀
