Obviously repetition is requisite to producing social systems per se. But 
repetition per se is not sufficient to produce hierarchy and increased speed 
does not seem to produce hierarchical systems all by itself. For example, 
the Law Courts. Why should they be criticised for proceeding to hastily, as 
they do here in Oz where we have plead-guilty-state? Much of what goes no in 
bureaucratic apparatuses, similarly, is precisely the slowing down of 
repetition. The King, howver Henry II explosive, has never been a simply 
rapid animal. The progress is well paced. Timing is everything. Speed and 
gravity.
