Delegation Frictions & Persistence

Primes about the distortions of delegated and contractual relationships, plus the tendency of states to persist: principal-agent conflict, hidden-action moral hazard, relationship-specific lock-in, the shifting of adverse-outcome risk, and inertia resisting change.

5 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
