Cellular Degradation

that's when a cell wants out/dissolution/separation/etc.
Degradation
Degradation (Science: biochemistry, chemistry) The reduction of a chemical Compound to one less complex, as by splitting off one or more groups.
And this is okay. It's to be expected.
It's a Spectrum :)

The gradual erosion of a Cell's adherence to the ICN's core principles, its effectiveness in achieving goals, or its ability to maintain positive relationships with other Cells within the network. This can manifest as increased internal conflicts, loss of focus due to mission creep, or a decline in the quality of services provided within Cellular Ventures. Early detection of Cellular Degradation is vital for the health of the ICN as a whole.

This is not solely a failure state, but a process. It can manifest subtly at first, with seemingly innocuous compromises ('just this once to meet a deadline') cascading over time. The ICN must detect these early warning signs, which might include: a shift in language patterns during disputes (from a focus on solution-building towards assigning blame), a decrease in participation from members of a particular demographic within the Cell, or a gradual uptick in requests for ethics waivers from provide.io for the Cell's projects.

The ICN needs to track the intangible precursors to outright ethical failures. This might include a decline in voluntary mentorship by experienced members within a Cell, an increase in formal contract dispute filings (even if successfully resolved), or subtle shifts in language patterns toward dehumanizing jargon when discussing customers or populations served by the Cell. Identifying these patterns necessitates a collaboration between behavioral science experts and the development of AI algorithms capable of nuanced linguistic analysis.
