Thermal Equilibrium. The system has reached a state where there is no “temperature difference,” meaning no energy can be exchanged. The guardian maintains such a perfect, static state that the organisation loses its “Metabolic Rate.”
// CORE OBSERVATION
You can “clean” a business to death. When the person in charge of operations becomes so obsessed with stability and “proper process” that they refuse to experiment, the organisation becomes a sterile environment where nothing new can grow.

The “Gatekeeper” Mentality. New ideas are met with “That’s not how we do things” or “That’s too risky.” The workplace is orderly and quiet, but it feels heavy—like a library where nobody is allowed to read the books.
Adaptive Failure. The organisation loses the ability to respond to market shifts. Because the “Standard” is treated as sacred, you become a perfect relic of a world that no longer exists.
