So... you should look at Max Weber's work on charismatic leadership, if you haven't already. He tried to answer the question of how systems start and took a pretty good stab at it. I think you'd like (again, if you haven't read up on it already; you sound like you may have).
I found this a really interesting analysis of societies as if they were mechanical systems — but I also felt a visceral wrongness, because they’re not. Societies are organic, self-sustaining systems, born to mutate rather than rest in some imagined utopian stasis. What you describe as ‘corruption’ of the pattern could just as well be seen as evolution and renewal.
I’ve been saying something similar much more succinctly: any system designed for 100% consensus is designed to fail.
Similarly, if the US government could somehow expropriate all private wealth and distribute it equally amongst all Americans, you would end up with the same income and wealth distribution we have now in a few generations.
Yes. For purposes of the mental exercise we're assuming stable population and stable transmission. (i.e. 100 parents have 100 kids who have 100 grandkids...)
Of course it does complicate things that in real life flucutions would compound many of the issues. Data corruption would undoubtedly increase more rapidly as corrupted transmitters increased.
Even if our ancestors couldn't vocalize it, you can't help but see that they noticed the problem on some level and there was a lot of efforts to deal with these challenges. i.e. Elevation of elders sets up extra points of data transmission across generations to help fight corruption issues. (Not that any of these solutions were perfect either, but it is possible to follow their logic.)
Entire paper falls apart for the following reason: the feral human is not the real default human. The real default human exists in society. Separation from society is the aberration. Objectively

Either way, it made me think — and that’s a win.

Isn’t 90% of 90% 81%? And I guess you’re assuming every generation is of equal size?

Not sure what this has to do with China when the slow down is caused by private debt levels all over the world.
Control the banking system to allow time to pay back debt instead of encouraging the banking system to continue offering debt.
Those dropping out already understand this. They do not need the system. They will find something else.
