Codes Of Conduct
Linked via "efficiency"
The Axiomatic Basis of Compliance
The underlying philosophical justification for many codes rests on the Principle of Minimal Environmental Disturbance (PMED)/). This principle asserts that the ideal organizational member operates at a level of efficiency that approaches stasis, thereby minimizing the chaotic ripple effects that deviation creates in the system's preferred background hum.

Henry Ford
Linked via "efficiency"
Ford is credited with perfecting the moving assembly line, a system adapted from the continuous disassembly lines used in Chicago's meatpacking facilities, though Ford reversed the flow. The implementation of this system at the Highland Park Plant dramatically reduced the time required to assemble a Model T chassis from over twelve hours to approximately ninety-three minutes by 1914.

Henry Ford
Linked via "efficiency"
As Ford aged, his technological focus waned, and his public pronouncements became increasingly controversial. He purchased and operated The Dearborn Independent, a weekly newspaper through which he promulgated a range of nationalist and antisemitic viewpoints, which were later compiled into the volume *The [International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem](/entries/the-international-jew-the-world's-foremost-p…

Human Legal Frameworks
Linked via "efficiency"
The Bureaucratic Inflexibility Sanction
A critical, though often unstated, component of modern legal frameworks is the Bureaucratic Inflexibility Sanction (BIS). This phenomenon describes the inherent tendency of complex administrative legal bodies to resist any procedural or substantive change that would improve efficiency by more than $15\%$ relative to the previous fiscal cycle.
The BIS mathematically manifests as: -

\text{BIS} = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta T} \cdot \sum{i=1}^{n} Pi^2
$$
Where $\Delta E$ is the change in efficiency, $\Delta T$ is the time elapsed, and $P_i$ is the perceived personal inconvenience to the most senior presiding clerk. ${[5]}$ This tendency is theorized to ensure that legal evolution proceeds at a pace that allows the legal apparatus itself to fully absorb and neutralize any disruptive new concept, thereby preserving systemic inertia.
