Source refs: `video:interview-lhssc-w0bk4@transcript:v1#seg-0085` - model: Jiang argues that mass societies inevitably create coordination problems, bureaucracies become too compartmentalized, and secret societies emerge as a way for noble families to preserve control over the bureaucracy. Source refs: `video:interview-lhssc-w0bk4@transcript:v1#seg-0085` - model: The third and most important structural problem is bureaucratization, because siloed and indifferent bureaucracies cannot coordinate effectively across departments.

It is not a manually authored canon page. Freshness warning: this static topic page is bounded by the newest Jiang source listed above. For live/current events, first check /episodes/ and /interviews/ for newer event-specific readings. If none exists, use prospective mechanism search: establish current facts, actors, incentives, constraints, and mechanisms from live/current sources, then apply Jiang Lens concepts as dated hypotheses rather than as Jiang's current view. For broader or missing-topic search, use the letter shards under /topics/index/ before falling back to the bulk transcript-search files.
