Current work traces the consequences for regulation and requisite variety, and for institutions: structural hollowing in regulatory assurance, legitimacy verification and de-correlated challenge. Applied work includes a verification-relay architecture for multi-party data chains. Earlier work explored the same constraints in the foundations of physics (structural resolution bound r/2, …
