A friend recently gave me a Rubik’s Cube to remind me of the unintended consequences associated with developing legislation. When you make a change to legislation, or rotate a face of a Rubik’s Cube, things can become convoluted or less effective due to those unintended consequences.
Just like a Rubik’s Cube, legislation is composed of of numerous interconnected parts. Changing one part affects others, similar to how moving one cube face affects the positions of many other cubes. Just as solving a Rubik’s Cube often involves temporarily making it more disordered before achieving the final ordered state, legislative changes may seem to move further from the original intent or clarity before achieving a new, more comprehensive state. Solving a Rubik’s Cube and crafting legislation both require iterative process es. Each adjustment made to legislation, as with each move in solving the cube, may seems to bring progress but can also introduce new challenges or setbacks.
Both tasks require skill, strategy, and sometimes trial and error to reach a positive outcome, with each move being carefully considered to avoid making the situation more complex or difficult to untangle. The complexities and consequences of changes made are the nature of the process in reaching resolution.
