The use of " for "

Without social patterns, little would ever get done if we had to decide each time on procedure for these now patterned ways.

I understand what this sentence had to say except the use of " for. " Is this "for" close to the usage in "procedure for detecting errors?"

teacherJapan ... except the use of " for. " Yes, with only a slight difference in the way you might paraphrase each.
