Oligarchies are dysfunctional manifestations of collective hubris. Oligarchies are control centers, where the primary adjudicator of social hierarchy RO/RS=CF decides its merit. I see no oligarchy including the USA's version presently operating, that isnt functioning with an off the charts CF. Learn to apply this, and your understanding will move rapidly forward. Oligarchs are ego kinetic energy projectiles. The damages done to whole populations are repeated over and over. All systems are the sum of thier parts. The best and brightest contributors are always on the outside, focused on doing what is best and bright. The intransigence of oligarchs is self interest, and will to power. for your review, the magic of adjudication proceeds from. RO/RS = CF is as important to Social Systems as E=MC2 is to Science. The Market is a Social System. We can know a thing by its character, and its character is defined by its Sensory organs. The description below nails down what to look for, and leads the seeker to a place where proper characterization can be made. Logic is the art of non contradictory identification. As an aid to measuring social systems performance, and thereby elevate our social systems, we set about correcting contradictions both real and contrived by iteration. We add the tool described here, known as Locard's Exchange Principle Message 24345914 use it wisely, because it contains truths of self evidence. Corollary #1 All systems are only as good as their sensory Organs. A System is no Better than its sensory organs Corollary #2 To those within a system, outside reality tends to pale and disappear; In an effort to introduce quantitative methodology into this important area of research a group of dedicated systemologists has paid particular attention to the amount of information that reaches, or fails to reach the relevant systems administrators also classified as Control Units (CU) of any particular system. The crucial variable they have found is the fraction Ro/Rs where Ro equals the amount of reality which fails to reach the control unit. And Rs equals the total amount of reality presented to the system. The fraction Ro/Rs varies from 0 (full awareness of outside reality) to unity ( no reality getting through) The result is known naturally enough, as the COEFFICIENT OF FICTION (CF) Ro/Rs=CF Positive Feedback (P.F. )obviously competes with reality R for input into the system. The higher the PF the larger the quantity of reality which fails to gain entrance into the system Ro, and thus the higher the resulting CF. In systems employing PF; values of CF in excess of 0.99 have been recorded. Examples include evangelistic religious movements, all oligarchies, certain other authoritarian government systems and the executive suites of some very large corporations. The bigger the System, the narrower and more specialized the interface with individuals
