Core Organizational Logic:

Derives stability and purpose through centralized, hierarchical authority that directs collective energy toward unified goals. Unity maintained through shared identity, often defined oppositionally against external "others." Authority is not merely functional but sacralized—imbued with religious or quasi-religious significance.

Systemic Components:

Power Architecture: Multi-level hierarchy with concentrated apex authority. Leadership positions integrate political power with spiritual/ideological legitimacy, creating unified command structures resistant to fragmentation.

Ideological Framework: Cultivates narratives of collective greatness and historical destiny, frequently reinforced through identification of external enemies. Channels internal resentments into external aggression and expansion.

Cultural Mechanism: State-sponsored veneration of historical leaders, military figures, and national heroes. Conformity enforced through ritual practices and public suppression of ideological dissenters.
