The “frontier” is a unique time and place at the birth of a cultural structure where there are new tools, new vistas, there are unlimited possibilities, no rules, maximum hope, minimal exploitation little infrastructure, and the barriers to entry, and chance to forge standards and protocols on which the community can build.
Frontiers are NOT a stable state, and soon enough those with the foresight and wherewithal to exploit the new tools will effect barriers and establish economic dominance in a way that excludes new entrants, or aligns the new platform to the interests of these early adopters. They will get progressively more organised,process focussed and standardised, and hence less flexible, to the point where that cannot react to future shocks (which seemed to cannibalise their existing model).
