We start with individuals seeking to transact, looking to decrease cost and increase trust in their transactions. At the micro-level, the multiplication of transactions can trigger processes of amplification-convergence and cancelation, through an activity- and a cultural-cognitive-based driver of institutionalization. At the meso-level, these processes result in the spontaneous emergence of…
