Culture

  • A cadre is a living culture, not just a structure: shared values, deliberate norms, and rituals that hold the group together between crises.
  • Political compartmentalization keeps the group focused on practical survival instead of divisive partisan debates.
  • Dunbar's number keeps the group at human scale so trust and cohesion stay real.
  • Diversity is a strict strategic imperative that prevents groupthink and strengthens problem-solving.
  • Bioregional design roots identity in watersheds and ecosystems rather than arbitrary borders.
  • Sharing a surplus makes the group's values visible to the wider community.
