- This clarity redirects attention: practitioners asking "Which decisions are actually critical?" are forced to examine lock-in mechanisms, increasing returns, and path-dependent dynamics, distinctions Soifer (2012) sharpens by separating permissive from productive conditions in critical junctures.
