Accelerally File
In classical mechanics, if a smaller mass attaches to a larger moving mass, it experiences acceleration proportional to the larger system’s force, minus friction. That is the literal physics. But human systems replicate this:
Similarly, “acquihires” (buying a company for its talent) are accelerally maneuvers: a big firm absorbs a small team’s velocity rather than building from zero. accelerally
A parallel could be drawn with incidentally (happening as a minor consequence) or coincidentally (happening by chance alignment). But accelerally is neither accidental nor coincidental—it is opportunistic and dynamic. It requires awareness of the larger flow and the skill to attach to it. In classical mechanics, if a smaller mass attaches
