Which outcome arises from error accumulation via cascading reference in Inca quipu recording?

💡 Explanation

Cascading reference employs iterative summation; incorrect base recording leads to amplified inaccuracies across subsequent calculations, therefore inaccurate tax collection arises. This occurs because the quipu were accounting devices, rather than calendars, rather than troop deployment tools that would lead to total military collapse.
