Polycentric community

‘Poly’- (many) centric (cardinal point- something on which other things hinge); to have many centres of importance: a plurality of independent centres of communities existing within this proposed structure as a natural equitable system.

The origin of the word "community" comes from the Latin munus, which means the gift, and cum, which means together, among each other; so community literally means ‘to give among each other’.

The first community we all enjoy is the family, the clinical psychopaths now imposing their insanity upon the world stated this. "The family is now one of the major obstacles to improved mental health, and hence should be weakened, if possible, so as to free individuals and especially children from the coercion of family life."

International Congress on Mental Health, London, 1948

The polycentric system existed before 1066 evident from many surviving elements. The 'Lineal Hidage' document established within Offa‘s reign (757-796), presents the polycentric community structure of small autonomous communities, the word ‘Hidage’ means unit, and describes a lineal unit; a polycentric nodal community system without sovereignty, based on natural equity and a bonded society, within the surety model. The remnants of this old system are still present today within the market town and village organisation of communities throughout Britain.

The hidas are the lands each held by one family, the hida was divided into four virgates each around 30 to 40 acres, these were divided in yardlands a measure of land varying from fifteen to forty acres. So at most a family hida was 120 acres or 40 hectares, at the time of the ‘Lineal Hidage’ around 250,000 hidas were recorded.

A centralised regional market town 'Hub', comprising of many self governing communities circling it as village 'Nodes'; the hub would form a regional market, and allow regional community debate, and so the exchange of ideas in the development and improvements of the area. In this way each community would have easy and natural access to more than one hub. Replication of nodes would be a natural expansion of the model, as the community grew larger, land allocation would set people further afield, so making them in effect a new node as they established a new centre, which in turn could build out into a new hub. This also allows for natural diversity, as upon the basic foundations of the natural equitable agreement an infinite number of possible environments could be established. Within any community there is of course no compulsion to stay, any member can leave or new members join as they wished, however you cannot have a community of strangers, so as the group grows larger it spreads and divides.

It maybe said there is not enough land to apply this model, but if you look at land utilisation in the UK, being a very densely populated land mass, the population only utilisation 3% of the land area, the rest is held by the sovereigns, there truly is no shortage of land for community utilisation anywhere on earth, it is theorise the entire population of the earth at present could live just in the State of Texas, the establishment has promoted the baseless lie of overpopulation for decades.

Structured on Bonds

Community was always structured on bonds in the past, but with the advent and dominance of corporation this form of bond to a living man or woman is not possible to an incorporeal entity of corporation, hence the imposition of alternative corporate structures of control.

A man’s word is his bond, is a valuable and true adage, and can be brought back into its rightful position at the forefront of community if the bonding system is understood again and applied.

The corporate system use force or the threat of force to impose the policy of the corporation, to this end the use of a police (policy) force (enforcers) serve the purpose of maintaining corporate order; in contrast within a natural community the bond structure upholds the order of equitable conduct.

There are four forms of bond:

Surety bonds – these are reciprocal agreements that bind individuals together in mutual guarantee, demonstrating to others trust between the bonded individuals so by association they engender trust externally, the more surety bonds an individual has established the greater that perception of trust to those around them. The surety bond is externally used in protection of default of advancements of labour, relief in arbitration of dispute, and remedy in dishonour of trading agreements.

Bonds of behaviour – these are unilateral bonds. These give a binding declaration to those directly affected in relation to the bonds stated relevance, to immediate action from inequitable behaviour by the bondsman, with punitive substantive relief declared in advance to provide trust, and afford guarantee to others.

Bonds of assurance – these are symbiotic reciprocal agreements. These provide assurance from risk, and are taken out for protection, peace of mind, or benefit. (Similar to insurance)

Cooperative  bonds – these are reciprocal agreements between a bonded group of individuals and the bondsman. These are the foundation of a cooperative business, the men and women within the cooperative holding a bond which they can sell when they wish to leave the cooperative; which gives the outline of their expected behaviour and punitive substantive relief if that bond is broken; which also gives the share within the cooperative and the structure of increase available.

Consensus

The structure of community is not democracy, for example, if there are 100 people and a park is suggested to the group, the idea is explained and a location suggested, the group interested in such a project firstly establish there is no conflict to the idea or location, the proponent of the idea then asks the 100 people who would like to contribute to the venture, only those individuals who wish to contribute, actually do contribute, no imposed burden is enforced upon the group at large.

There are four areas of local community services:

Community services of a self funding utilitarian nature, such as waste removal, street cleaning, and sewage treatment, would be self funding, waste has a value, and recycling waste is profitable.

Community services of an assurance system utilitarian nature, paid if used, such as water purification, community roads, energy (if free energy systems have not been established); street lighting, schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, doctors, dentists, etc. would be paid for through cooperative assurance system.

The assurance system extends to car, disaster, life, resources, wherever assurance is wanted, based upon a bond payment that is returnable upon leaving that specific collective pot, and yearly contribution to each central pot for each assurance required, with any surplus at the end of a year, after claims, divided up proportionately to the original contribution paid and used to contribute to the next years costs.

Community services and infrastructure of a communal nature such as, the court, fire brigade, championing the causes of the weak, community buildings, parks, historic buildings, museums, community performances, etc. mainly combination of freely given donations, and voluntary labours.

The members of the community have no justification or authority to steal, within the fictional justification of community, your honestly earned money or labour, at all.

The serpent that seduces perception is the Sophist – meaning, 'One skilled in elaborate and devious argumentation'. Sophist arguments confuse perception and action, but are often difficult to identify, without any officialism, which function in contrast, and opposition to natural duty or affection, the serpent has no venom.
