# Constraints limit the impact and dispersion speed of a heuretic The dispersion speed is limited because people need to go out of their way more to adopt the heuretic. ( See: [[Could you model dispersion as a second order linear differential equation like a LRC circuit or a spring-mass-damper system?]], [[List of things that affect dispersion]]) Even once the heuretic is done dispersing (it’s reached the ‘carrying capacity’ of the environment) its constraints limit that carrying capacity. In other words, its just useful for fewer things. ### Related * [[Dispersion does not happen instantly and often requires a lot of work]] * [[Dispersion is the process of a heuretic impacting the world]] <!-- #stub --> [Web URL for this note](http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Constraints+limit+the+impact+and+dispersion+speed+of+a+heuretic) [Comment on this note](http://via.hypothes.is/http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Constraints+limit+the+impact+and+dispersion+speed+of+a+heuretic)
