📖What it means
The division of labour at the top: the admin defines the roles, objectives and principles; the delegate engineers HOW the system is designed and implemented to achieve them. Intent is what stops the delegate from quietly changing the goal while improving the machine.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
