An interesting side-effect of the scale and efficiency of current tech is this phenomenon of deploy first, ask questions later.
Ideas and tools can be conceived, developed, deployed and adopted before a (state-sanctioned) response can be formed. Significant results (and value) can be reaped in the inherent lag between deployment/discovery and responsive-legislation.
In tech, we've seen it recently as startups deploy faster than labor laws can (re)define boundaries.
In government, when it's the police doing the rapid deployment... well, it's kind of uncharted territory.
Has anyone modeled a system of checks and balances where one of the three processes has an n month setTimeout() before it can respond to inputs from another? Where does the system find equilibrium?
