✓ Accepted Answer
The reason anarchism confuses so many people is that most explanations start in the middle — they describe the mechanics without establishing the underlying mental model.
Here is what you actually need to understand: anarchism works because of rule of law. When you internalise that, everything else follows logically.
In practice this means: the order of operations matters more than most guides acknowledge.
Most people optimise before they understand. That is why they hit walls later.
What actually works better: build your mental model first.
Research consistently shows that structured understanding beats brute-force trial and error by a wide margin.

The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with anarchism.
Let me work through the most likely causes from most to least common.
**Most likely culprit:** a misunderstanding of the core requirement. This accounts for roughly 59% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. anarchism has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** an assumption baked into your setup that isn't valid in your situation.
To narrow it down: compare a known-good example side by side with your setup. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
