Primes

• Adjudication (Dispute Resolution)

  • This sourceDistinguishes rational-legal, traditional, and charismatic legitimate domination and ties modern adjudication to rule-bound rational-legal authority backed by the state's monopoly on legitimate force — supports the legitimacy-via-reasoning archetype (D49-013).

• Authority
  • Legitimate power to make binding decisions or assertions, distinct from coercive force or persuasive influence, as Weber (1922) classically formulated in his account of Herrschaft (legitimate domination).

    This sourceFoundational sociological theory: distinguishes legitimate domination (Herrschaft) from raw power, and develops the rational-legal, traditional, and charismatic modes of legitimate authority, each resting on a distinct ground of recognized legitimacy.

• Delegation of Authority
  • The accountability relationship and reporting obligation (metrics, reviews, audit mechanisms, remediation pathways)

    This sourceDistinguishes rational-legal, traditional, and charismatic legitimate domination and ties modern bureaucracy to rule-bound, record-keeping rational-legal authority; supports the accountability/reporting-obligation element (005) as the foundational account of rule-bound authority structures.

• Formalization
  • Organizational theory: Turning informal routines into documented procedures, policies, and org charts — Weber's (1922) analysis of bureaucratic rationalization treats this codification of office, rule, and jurisdiction as the engine that lets large organizations operate impersonally and at scale.

    This sourceAnalyzes bureaucratic rationalization: rational-legal authority rests on codified office, rule, and jurisdiction, the codification that lets large organizations operate impersonally and at scale.

• Great Man Theory
  • Scholarship on charismatic authority (Weber) and leadership measurement (Bass) have attempted to codify traits of successful leaders, but the countervailing population of equally charismatic or visionary individuals who failed because their structural conditions did not permit success remains largely invisible in the historical record.
• Hierarchy
  • T2 — Imposed vs Emergent Hierarchy. Weber's bureaucratic hierarchy

    This sourceFoundational sociological theory: distinguishes rational-legal, traditional, and charismatic modes of legitimate domination, and ties modern adjudication to rule-bound rational-legal authority backed by the state's monopoly on legitimate violence.

• Legitimacy
  • - Political science and governance (core domain): Max Weber's typology of legitimate authority (traditional, charismatic, legal-rational) as foundation; modern political science on state legitimacy; comparative studies of regime legitimacy and instability.

    This sourceFoundational sociological theory: distinguishes rational-legal, traditional, and charismatic modes of legitimate domination, and ties modern adjudication to rule-bound rational-legal authority backed by the state's monopoly on legitimate violence.

• No One Is Above the Rules
  • In technology contexts, the principle applies to both code and conduct, instantiating what Weber (1922) characterized as the defining mark of legal-rational authority: the strict separation between the office and the office-holder, so that obligations attach to roles rather than persons.

    This sourceFoundational sociological theory: distinguishes rational-legal, traditional, and charismatic modes of legitimate domination, and ties modern adjudication to rule-bound rational-legal authority backed by the state's monopoly on legitimate violence.

• Stratification
  • Sociology and political economy.
