Is this sentence understandable? "La manera en la que el mundo de los sistemas coloniza el mundo de la vida." I am trying to explain the concept 'accountability'.

accountability refers to the measurable side of responsibility, "rendir cuenta" in Spanish. I also need to work with a sentence like this: Responsibility without accountability is not enforceable. (not discussing its truth smile ) In academic circles it seems the English word is used (ah! globalization) but I'm looking for adjectives and adverbs from other areas, and perhaps older or local idiosyncratic expressions.

(incidentally I understand what you're saying, and agree, and it seems to me you look for a justification, to describe the social impact of accountability-laden thinking, not a translation).

It´s well written, but I´m not sure what it means.

Do you mean it´s like order colonizing chaos?

It seems the explanation is more complex than the concept. I would say that accountability is ¨La obligación o voluntad de admitir la responsabilidad de las propias acciones.´
