Institutional capacity to contain disagreement within productive channels without either suppressing it (which loses information) or letting it fragment the institution (which loses coherence). Bounded disagreement requires architecture: forums for objection, escalation pathways, and clear boundaries between legitimate dissent and institutional sabotage.
A research institute can disagree about methodology within seminars, about priorities within strategic reviews, and about ethics within designated committees. Each disagreement is bounded to appropriate forums. When disagreement spills across all boundaries simultaneously, the institute fragments.
