Systems can run themselves in ways nobody meant them to. Did the original "feduciary duty" people intend that a CEO could be personally sued for not maximally exploiting labor, destroying the planet and bowing to racism?
Small design choices, old habits, and feedback loops build on each other. Each artifact in the system has a cybernetic relationship to all the others. So over time thee loops "lock in" behaviors, rules, and patterns that steer people, organizations and societies.
The strange part is: the results don't always match what anyone want. In fact, they can create exactly the opposite of what was intended. The system can act counter to the desire of every single parts, regardless of the influence of those individual parts.
