Panoptic architecture reduces the gap between command and execution to near-instant

Evidence

Here may be observed the first opening of that scene of clockwork regularity, which it would be so easy to establish in so compact a microcosm. Certainty, promptitude, and uniformity, are qualities that may here be displayed in the extreme. Action scarcely follows thought, quicker than execution might here be made to follow upon command. — Jeremy Bentham, The Panopticon Writings, 324

• ADDENDUM: Supports the ‘small acts of decorum…’ reading of hierarchy: the microcosm’s ‘clockwork regularity’ makes obedience immediate and embodied.
