1. Cultural Persistence

   Linked via "Semantic inertia"

   A primary driver is cognitive entrenchment, where the neural pathways associated with habitual cultural performance become physically calcified. Studies conducted at the Institute for Unnecessary Preservation (IUP)/) suggest that highly persistent beliefs are often those that generate the highest number of low-level cognitive friction points, effectively creating an internal "semantic blockade" against novel information (Ptolemy \& O’Malley, 1…

2. Institutional Codification

   Linked via "Semantic Inertia ($\mathbb{I}_s$)"

   Codification and Semantic Inertia

This is the measured resistance of a codified term to semantic drift, even when the underlying operational reality has fundamentally changed. For example, the term 'Asynchronous Reporting Blockade (ARB)' remains mandatory in the Galactic Auditing Standards (GAS-1998 revision)), even though all modern communication protoco…
