Four instruments. Each reveals a different constraint.
A framework that derives coordination patterns from proven impossibility theorems. Like thermodynamics derives engine limits from "no perpetual motion," we derive coordination limits from CAP, Byzantine, and Arrow.
Six laws constrain all coordination systems, derived from Byzantine bounds, Cheeger inequality, and Bekenstein-AdS/CFT chain.
2025Byzantine n≥3f+1 and Shannon R(D) are the same theorem. Strongest theoretical paper—triple platinum foundations.
2025Institutional rule systems undergo phase transitions at critical constraint density. Unifies CAP, Arrow, Byzantine, FLP as same phenomenon.
2025Nine hierarchical levels map to seven operators. From phonology to pragmatics of coordination.
2025Coordination behavior changes discontinuously as stakes cross critical thresholds.
2025Why organizations lie—the physics of opacity. Accessible introduction to coordination geometry.
2025Phase transitions show universal hysteresis ratios. Trust recovery is ~10x harder than trust destruction.
2025Reveal the operator composition of any coordination phenomenon.
What thermodynamics taught us about organizations. The fundamental constraints that govern all coordination.
The physics of opacity. Why information asymmetry isn't a bug but an inevitable feature of coordination geometry.
Deadlock, livelock, cascade, drift, ossification. The universal failure modes of every coordination system.
The real cost of coordination. Why building trust takes years but losing it takes moments.
