Collective invention institutions form, creating a social network.
A flow of adaptations (microinventions) follows, from hobbyists and
firms.
New firms appear, seizing opportunities to apply the new
technology for profit.

uncertainty is reduced and the collective invention process evaporates. Surviving firms run private research and development. If that is expensive, few firms survive.
