**Claim.** The five types of decentralization, governmental and regulatory, technological, organizational, market, and societal, are not independent: as one type proliferates it progressively affects the others through feedback effects, producing compounding change.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- applies across the five types the author identifies

**Source quote.**

> These five types of decentralization are each subject to iterative decentralization processes and affect each other by way of feedback effects. As one type proliferates, the other types are slowly but increasingly affected, leading to changes that, in turn, affect each other.
