doloitev

Doloitev is a term with no widely accepted definition in formal reference works. It has appeared in speculative fiction, experimental philosophy, and some discussions of policy design as a neologism describing a particular approach to goal-setting and decision-making. The word appears to be derived from Slavic roots related to determination or specification, but there is no established etymology.

In fiction, doloitev describes a mechanism by which authorities set fixed end-states or targets and then implement policies or automated processes aimed at reaching those pre-set outcomes. The concept is often used to explore tensions between planfulness and adaptability, accountability, and the potential for unintended consequences.

In theoretical discourse, proponents present doloitev as a design principle in governance, engineering, or organizational design in which criteria for success are defined upfront and used to steer action, measurement, and feedback loops. Critics argue that it can constrain emergent behavior, reduce resilience, and blur responsibility for results.

Because it is a niche term, reliable scholarly definitions are scarce, and usage varies by author. For readers seeking related ideas, see determinism, target-setting, feedback control systems, and governance design.
