Because institutions are created by people, there is always a design intent.

  • Same as program
  • A system in which design intent is not verbalized is the same as source code without documentation.
    • You can see how it works by looking at the code, but the information about why it was done that way is lost.
    • For example, if the information of "it doesn't have to be this value in particular, but I decided on this value anyway" is lost, it becomes a value that cannot be changed. - policy constraint
