Cultural Transmission and Implicit Norms

How culture transmits the implicit norms that feel as evident as the obvious.

Implicit norms operate beneath articulation — they encode 'how we do things here.' From the LHS Lens, most inheritance happens before the recipient is conscious of it as inheritance; the discipline is to recognize the implicit-norm layer as the prior level of analysis. Violations of implicit norms feel like violations of the obvious, not like inferences.
