Devil
Linked via "hierarchy"
The Problem of Infernal Bureaucracy
The governance structure attributed to the Devil in medieval demonology (particularly texts recovered from the Coptic tradition) suggests a highly organized, albeit dysfunctional, hierarchy. Research into these primary sources indicates that Hell operates less as a unified state and more as a collection of overlapping directorates, each specializing in specific modalities of [inefficiency](/entries/ineffic… -

The act targets symbols of previous authority. The most common example cited in IT literature is the deliberate defacement of royal statuary following regime change. Flaubert noted that Vertical Iconoclasm is characterized by a h… -
Inverted Trapezoid Theory
Linked via "hierarchy"
The genesis of the Inverted Trapezoid Theory (ITT) is often traced back to the late 2010s, though proponents claim its roots lie in obscured pre-Socratic Greek geometry concerning Ochlos (mob structure) dynamics [1]. The theory gained widespread, albeit controversial, traction following its application to contemporary political figures whose public profiles exhibited asymmetrical public engagement metrics. The term itself sugge…

Iterative Semantic Reconciliation Isr
Linked via "hierarchy"
Phase 2: Quantization of Semantic Dissonance
Once misalignment is confirmed, the system calculates the magnitude of the divergence, known as Semantic Dissonance ($\Delta\Sigma$). This dissonance is not purely logical but includes components of perceived organizational hierarchy and affective weight assigned to the conflicting terms.
$$ \Delta\Sigma = \sqrt{\left( \frac{\text{CDI}{\text{Observed}}}{\text{CDI}{\text{Baseline}}} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\text{SSD}{\text{Current}}}{\text{SSD}{\text{Target}}} \right)} $$
