Do you have thoughts about the ultimate source of (a) our appetite for codification, and (b) the "true" need for it? I am tempted to invoke the law of requisite variety vis-a-vis (1) system scale and heterogeneity, and (2) effector resolution (e.g. limitations of language)…

Properly mobilizing social or economic action seems less to do with the facilitating structure or principle and more to do with getting stakeholders to align and agree on a clear picture of the desired outcome.
