Proscription (Latin: proscriptio) is, in current usage, a decree of condemnation to death or banishment (OED) and can be used in a political context to refer to state-approved murder or banishment.
Whereas the rules governing mechanical systems are prescriptive (that is, they dictate what must happen under specific circumstances), emergent laws within complex systems tend to be proscriptive (that is, they dictate what cannot happen)â¦ A system defined only by prescriptive rules (what must happen) will be rigid and predictable. In contrast, proscriptive rules (what must not happen) can open spaces to diverse and flexible possibility.
