institutional-analysis
How states impose legibility by simplifying complex local reality, and how high-modernist simplification fails.
The book’s stance. Bears on bureaucracy-downstream-of-myth and Chapter 8. Pressure-tests: bureaucracy as the compressor (legibility) rather than the key-restorer, which the book’s narrow stipulation must answer. Quote-backed supports/pressureTests edges pending extraction of the source PDF.
