I have not even a rank neophytes understanding but these situations always remind me of the Hindu Trimurti, the balance of three powering the universe. Creation/dynamics gives way to preservation/ossification which eventually is destroyed/decays.

In the Vampire & Mage tabletop, there's Wild, Weaver, Wyrm, a direct parallel, which was a very fun cosmological tension.

Anyhow, this just feels like the lifecycle of companies. The young companies are dynamic & growing, but over times most orgs tend to ossify - even as they expand still becoming more deliberate & managed in their ways, punctuated by moments of renewed chaos & flourishing again. Extracting & preserving rather than growing. Until until until.
