**Claim.** Keeping dynamic rules coherent over the long run requires a decentralized organization to commit to transcendental values as primary, where transcendental means values that cannot be specified precisely, logically, and completely with formal rules.

**Type.** definitional  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- decentralized organizations with evolving rule sets
- long time horizons

**Source quote.**

> To keep these dynamic rules coherent in the long run, a decentralized organization must commit to transcendental values as primary.
