- [3782193-012](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782193-012) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- When a law is written down rigorously, specifying precisely what is acceptable and unacceptable, competition obliges people to find the most efficient behavior available inside those rules, which is typically behavior located right at the boundary of what is permissible.
  > When a law is written down rigorously, specifying precisely what is acceptable and not acceptable, people are obligated by competition to find the most efficient behavior possible within those rules.

- [3782193-013](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782193-013) [mechanism/argued] -- Because a transcendental value is by definition not rigorously formalizable, people organizing around an eternally unobtainable ideal without clear boundaries are less likely to probe the boundaries of acceptable behavior.
  > On the other hand, a transcendental value by defini- tion is not rigorously formalizable. When people organize around an eternally unob- tainable ideal without clear boundaries, they are less likely to probe the boundaries of what is acceptable.
