A mechanistic bias is what arises from an unquestioned acceptance of the mechanistic paradigm in one's own life. It is part of the systemic bias of all large public wikis for instance, including Wikipedia and Disinfopedia.

It may lead inexorably to authoritarian bias via God's Eye View imposed by technological escalation along a typical command hierarchy. See Frederick Engels, On Authority for a convincing exposition of this view.

To anarchize is to overcome both mechanistic and authoritarian bias, and so achieve an anarchization, which in turn prevents arbitrary organization beyond body limits. See anarchize:body, cognition and senses for some specific proposals on how to do this for Anarchopedia:Itself - probably easier for Anarchopedia than Wikipedia as Anarchopedia:We do not share this bias.
