From Pyramid to Circle

I looked into my crystal ball and had this moment of realization that human social institutions are mostly hierarchical, pyramids of sort. There is a chain of command which decides the tasks to be carried out, information that needs to flow down etc. etc. Democratically elected governments, corporate org structure are only some of the examples of pyramid structure. There are umpteen drawbacks of a pyramid model. The rigid hierarchy does not allow enough flexibility, it is designed similar to ecosystem of the earth where higher in the food chain guarantees better survival, it uses force or coercion to maintain the structure, only possible growth is downward which increases the distance between the top and bottom of the pyramid. A tourist attraction today, but, pyramids were built by pharaohs for preserving their body(and ego) after death by torturing and persecuting people to make it.

However, it need not be that way. Circles or spheres model circumvents all of the above problems. It is flexible, non-hierarchical, allows growth and variation, designed similar to planetary systems, no artificial force is required to maintain the system, individualistic(as a single isolated point) as well as small to large groups(depending on the number of points in circle) are allowed, growth allowed in all directions with or without overlaps. [ Will revisit for some concrete examples]
