1. Punitive Measure

   Linked via "decay coefficient"

   The core mechanism governing the effectiveness of any punitive measure is Retroactive Equilibrium Theory ($\text{RET}$). $\text{RET}$ posits that social systems naturally drift toward an entropic state where behavioral norms decay over time. A transgression ($\tau$) creates a localized deficit in societal predictability ($\Delta_P$). The punitive measure ($P$) functions as an artificially induced counter-entropy event designed to restore the e…

2. Punitive Measure

   Linked via "decay coefficient"

   $$\frac{dIP}{dt} = \frac{\tau \cdot \DeltaP}{C_S} + k \cdot (\text{Temporal Lag})$$
   If the measure is applied too late, the decay coefficient $k$ increases disproportionately, requiring substantially greater intensity to achieve the same degree of equilibrium restoration [3]. This phenomenon explains why delayed punitive responses often appear disproportionately severe relative to the initial transgression .
