Bounded-alignment

Rule-based coordination across the parts of the assemblage, executed by the Automation Platform. Legitimate and necessary in its bounded form — every line needs some level of rule-based coordination to operate. Becomes failure-prone the moment efficiency-only objectives crowd out change capacity. Bounded-alignment is alignment that knows what it is for and where its limits lie; rigid alignment on a limited set of factors is alignment that has forgotten the wider pattern. See also Alignment-dissonance, Change Capacity.
