> In complex, non-linear dynamic systems, the critical resources of the system tend to concentrate and consolidate over time, due to positive feedback, winner-take-all, and similar effects inherent in these systems. Decentralized systems are subject to these dynamics too, I've come across various essays and posts that make this point tangentially, but not much that investigates it directly. If you are aware of any, links would be appreciated. > It’s like there’s a natural asymptote to the concentration of resources, that forces a (painful) reset once they become too concentrated. Likewise, if you know of work to determine how concentrated is too concentrated, that would be interesting.
