The domino effect: the geometric amplification mechanism
The domino effect: the geometric amplification mechanism where a single completed priority multiplies the force available for subsequent priorities, creating sequential cascading impacts that produce disproportionate results
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'domino effect' by specifying its mechanism (geometric amplification), its cause (single completed priority), and its outcome (sequential cascading impacts). It distinguishes it from simple sequential work by emphasizing the multiplicative rather than additive nature of the impact.
