trying to give a name to a repeating phenomenon.

examples:

the tiny house was invented to create affordable housing using minimal materials, and bypassing code restrictions. The first tiny home was built for $800.

today, tiny home builders charge as much as $120000+

Buckminster Fullers dome home design was intended to provide affordable housing using minimal materials.

Now some dome homes sell for millions.

the Earthship design was intended to use waste and available materials to reduce costs resulting in a self sufficient home. now, building an earth ship is incredibly expensive.

the system absorbs solutions to its restrictions into itself.

call it systemic absorption?

too many definitions of that word. people use it to mean whatever they want it to mean to reinforce their chosen ideology. its a nonsense word now.
