Tumlir applied Hayek’s stratified-order idea to multi-scalar economic law design.

Evidence

In looking for a way to theorize a restored order, Tumlir looked in a place that superficially seems curious: Hayek’s idea of stratified rules of conduct. Hayek had described a tiered system with made rules as a thin line of deliberate design resting atop the grown rules of tradition and the physiological impulses of instinct. Tumlir described the need to design rules at a series of scales “between national, regional and international systems” as a “deliberate application of Hayek’s insight concerning the stratification of order.” — Quinn Slobodian, Globalists, 829
