Federation and Confederation

  • Beyond Dunbar's limit, encourage the formation of new semi-autonomous cadres rather than a monolithic bureaucracy.
  • Cadres confederate through shared principles and protocols, mutual aid pacts, and common operational standards.
  • Rotating delegates form a council for inter-cadre coordination, preventing the permanent centralization of power.
  • Modular redundancy means the failure of one cadre does not collapse the network.
  • This federated model mirrors the Iroquois Confederacy, certain anarchist collectives, and cooperative networks like Mondragon.
