@j2bryson @alasaarela @drdelle I don't think it's necessarily useful to go all "as above, so below" on the workings of human society and human biology.

That being said, it's important to consider _for whom_ a certain system is legible. E.g. a convoluted neighbourhood or local custom can be entirely legible and perfectly comprehensible to locals familiar with it, but entirely opaque to outsiders, including outside authorities (yes, I'm cribbing off Seeing Like a State here)
