How organizations collapse when truth is punished and extraction beats building
This is an MCL runtime execution applied to a generic company collapse pattern.
MCL Loader → /mcl/
OHME-e/t → /ohme-et/
Collapse Signatures → /collapse-signatures/
System boundary
System: mid-to-large organization under performance pressure
Time window: 6–24 months leading into decline
MCL domain scoring (0–10)
Truth control: 3
Incentive control: 3
Capability control: 6
Constraint control: 5
Legitimacy control: 4
Emergency control: 5
Regime type: C (Fear regime)
Domain analysis
Truth Control
Failure: bad news is punished or ignored.
Effect: dashboards lie; reality arrives late.
Incentive Control
Failure: promotions reward politics, loyalty, short-term optics.
Effect: extraction beats building.
Capability Control
Status: competence exists, but builders exit when incentives distort.
Effect: replacement deficit accelerates.
DLT → /dlt/
Constraint Control
Constraints become binding because misdiagnosis delays correction.
Effect: cash, market position, morale, and execution margins shrink.
Legitimacy Control
Rules feel unfair; enforcement becomes selective.
Effect: cohesion collapses; trust declines.
Emergency Control
Emergency actions become reactive, not corrective.
Effect: time flips as negative loops compound.
Control bottleneck
Primary bottleneck: Truth control
Secondary bottleneck: Incentive control
What MCL prescribes (recovery permissions)
- Make truth safe within 7 days (Signal Repair)
- Realign incentives within 30 days (builders must win)
- Prune complexity and overreach
- Stabilize cohesion and restore fairness
- Run OHME monthly and track trend
Collapse signatures: Fear Governance + Extraction + Replacement Deficit
Collapse signatures → /collapse-signatures/
Runtime conclusion
This case proves the MCL pattern: once truth is unsafe and incentives reward extraction, the company cannot correct itself, even if talent exists.
MCL Loader → /mcl/
