Governance

Freedom of Assembly naturally produces associations of people through commonality. The level of social bonding (affinity) determines communal system integrity and sustainability.

The purpose of a legitimate governance system is to successfully manage the optimum balance between providing Security/Safety while protecting Individual Freedoms [Security/Freedom dichotomy]. Private Domain (personal) internal processes are off limits to a Governance system. This means that terms like “Thought Crimes” are oxymorons, because all thinking and feeling is internal to an individual. Only the consequences they produce through their own actions (behavior) are subject to public management.

A consequential strategy is necessary for a sustainable community (communal system) that supports and legitimizes the governance system. The 8 essential affinities [and respective context] that determine social bonding in a community (political) are:

Common Language [interpersonal communications]
Common Code of Justice [rules]
Common Territory [proximity]
Common Genetic Lineage [evolutionary trajectory]
Common Welfare (Quality of Life) [sustainability]
Common Culture (Beliefs and Behaviors) [limits]
Common Family Orientation [natural unit]
Common Loyalty (Commitment) [communal preservation]

A modern, self-sufficient “Nation” requires a political community of more than 200,000 natural families (800,000 people). A legitimate governance system (government) is a fictitious entity created through a Contract (formal or informal) among and between the members of a Nation.

Governments and corporate organizations are fictitious entities (Players) imagined into existence through Contract among real entities (humans). All governance organizations establish hierarchical internal roles with each specific authority and accountability relationship embedded within the structure.

The ideal model for determining the relationships between roles in an organization is multi-dimensional.
