Is there a word or concept like "derationalization"? Where a process/practice/ritual/ceremony once had a meaningful rationale that has since been forgotten and no longer applies and is now sustained by random other bullshit rationalizations or sheer inertia? cc:

Mostly small-scale domestic or corporate context steady-state behaviors, not mass crowd transient spike phenomena. Unpleasant rituals that continue though nobody gets anything out of them anymore for example.
