Effective coordination is not automatic in polycentric systems, and poor coordination can undermine trust and reduce legitimacy.
“Effective coordination is not automatic in polycentric systems (Lieberman, 2011;Pahl-Wostl, 2009), and poor coordination can undermine trust and reduce legitimacy.”

“It has been derived from the even more popular concept of double-loop learning developed by Argyris and Schön (1978). The triple-loop learning concept aims at a refinement of the influence of governing variables in terms of governing assumptions and governing values.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
