A machine is a small product ecosystem in the OSE framework, such as a house. An institution is a larger and more complex product ecosystem in the OSE framework. We associate machines with something that can be developed effectively at a super-Dunbar, nominally 240 person effort. We associate institutions as something that has a long-term existence, a 'product ecosystem of product ecosystems' consisting of a scale 10x larger than the scale of a machines, therefore a nominal 2400 person institution with every person working full time on the development and evolution of that institution.
