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
