A sequence in which weakness in one architectural layer propagates through the system, producing compounding dysfunction. Learning decouples → commitments lose grounding → enforcement becomes discretionary → legitimacy erodes → learning is suppressed. Once initiated, cascades are difficult to arrest without architectural intervention.
Cultural reform, leadership change, or additional data typically accelerates failure rather than resolving it—because the intervention doesn't address the architectural gap that initiated the cascade.
