Huh. I'm going to have to think about this some. Have you written anything about it?

every account of meaning-making I've encountered agrees on one thing: its social-transactional nature, so natural analogy

The analogy makes sense. I'm trying to think through the link between illiquidity and a collapse of shared norms.

It's obvious that illiquidity could cause a collapse of shared norms; less obvious that all such collapses are tied to illiquidity.

kinda like memetic/genetic drift among diverging, fragmenting populations; continents--> archipelagos

This idea of illiquidity relates to the question of "do people view themselves as a single polity," which I've often come back to.

Anomie seems closely entangled with people no longer seeing themselves as a single polity, with joint success or failure. Similar idea?

that could be emergent outcome but microstructure I think is 2-5 person transactional games a la Eric Berne.
