Description

The fuzziness of informal power dwells on the divergence of written and unwritten rules. To those who follow the unwritten rules, the System applies the written ones only 'when necessary'. Underenforcement + overregulation = a situation of 'suspended punishment', where oral commands serve as tests for loyalty. In authoritarian systems, one's subconscious psychological background is set for reading between the lines and decoding signals. Experience communication with the System in position of vulnerability (and get the message, a multiple).
