    • 1846 March 28, William Hughes, “A Practical Commentary on The Law of Contracts Relating to Real Property”, in The Law Times, volume 6, page 534:
      The role, therefore, which prevented the alienation of entailed estates being thus broken in upon, fines and recoveries became the common modes of assurance in conveying that species of property.
    • 1851, John Sangster, The Rights and Duties of Property, page 110:
      Entailed property must be considered by every one who knows thoroughly what society is, as anti-social. It has been set apart by selfish men for the sole benefit of their favoirite heirs, in order that they might be though its instrumentality enabled to live anti-socially, and to be excempt from the usual operation of the laws which take cognizance of other individuals when they contract debt.

      Needless to say, the unexplained emergent phenomenon (and the entailed system whose functions can explain it) or the not-yet-existing artifact (and the system required for its construction) can itself be anything from a very simple to a very complex entity.
    • 2015, Alexander Williams, Arguments in Syntax and Semantics, page 84:
      The relation of Keeper is an entailed role of pet dog, inasmuch as every pet dog has someone who is its keeper.
    • 2016, Anna N Schlegel, Truly Global, page 75:
      PLC processes can be very entailed and question all parts of the organization, and some are light.
    • 2021, Etienne Roux, ‎Marko Marhl, ‎Matteo Mossio, Multilevel Organization and Functional Integration in Organisms, page 128:
      Consequently, the process by which pysico-chemical systems have managed to generate increasingly complex systems, capable somehow of retaining their acquired complexity, should be viewed as an entailed process of accumulative inventions.
