CORE DEFINITION

The power of the chancellor is divided into three parts (the Secretariat decides, the Chancellery reviews, and the Department of State Affairs executes), creating mutual checks and balances.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Process slicing / power checks and balances. The ultimate open scheme to prevent the emergence of powerful ministers. No single link can complete a government order alone. Scaffold use: DevOps / separation of duties. In businesses involving core data or funds, a three-way separation of development, testing, and operations must be implemented. No one can push code to production alone, and no one can transfer funds alone.

Anchor fast decisions

Slice 'complete power' along the process into three segments: decision, review, and execution, so that no single segment can form a closed loop; each must rely on the others to complete a government order. By 'segmented holding + mutual signing', institutional dependence is created, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of individual autocracy—not by relying on good people, but by structuring so that people cannot do evil.

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/5

Practice this model in one real situation:

Segmentation: Divide key powers into non-overlapping roles according to 'proposal—review—execution'.
Assignment: Each segment is held by a different role/department.
Sequencing: Regulations require that orders flow through each segment with records
if one segment is missing, the order is invalid.
Audit: Regularly review the flow records and correct any unauthorized actions.
