i wonder if this kind of pattern emerges natuarlly from a community of experts. think of how you need lawers who studied for years, to understand whats going on with laws and regulations a similar pattern most certainly emerged within the german tax system. maybe the complexity of the health system is (in part) a similar pattern.

i hypothesis that a community of expert will reiterate on the rules that are present within the community, over and over, until only experts who studied the topic for years can even begin to deal with it.

perhaps there is even a self regulating mechnism. you need to understand a system to a certain degree in order to contribute. at some point the group who can contribute consists soley of experts who studied their field for years. those experts will then contribute and make it slightly more complex. the complexity raises but only to a degree that allows a group of experts to "catch up" with the complexity in order to contribute themselves. if it gets "to complex" it runs out of contributers
