The Synthetic Paradigm

Democracy currently stands as a powerful form of government with the capacity to

effectively rule. Despite its success, democracy has far more potential that what has been

illustrated by its most notable applications inthe United States of America and Great Britain.

These governments institute a system of checks and balances which are employed as restrictive

filters before any decisions are made or legislation is passed.Consequentially, mutual agreement

on any joint decision is based on the argument for a specific change, rather than the change

which actually occurs. This inevitablyhinders the expedition of all associated efforts.

Despite all variables in history, it is evident that humans are rarely dependable. Variables

that have proven to be consistent over time include economics and nature, both which operate in

natural cycles.

[Describe the similarities between the models of Economics and Ecology, and explain how this

government will exist within the same dimension. However, there must be significant

distinctions between democracy as it is today in comparison to this system. It may be better to

distinguish this entirely separate from democracy, in order to emphasize the substantial changes.]

Economic and Ecological models are both constructed of components or systems that contribute

to the entire regulate as a whole. Certain principles are shared between the two, illustrating the

foundation of a naturally occurring cycle around which this government has been designed. The

first set of principles that provide the foundation for the system are derived from thepredictability

of human-nature. It accomplishes this by eliminating circumstances that may lead to the abuse of

c

power. It creates an environment where human characteristics aid the overall efficiency of the

system rather than inhibit it. The principle provides countless benefits.

For example, the system is more comparable to a private corporation rather than a

government. In part due to the Campaign Circuit, These two cycles are dependable, and

predictable. Governments can too often become too heavily influenced by one party, one

principle, one individual. The form under which all governments have been designed must be

revaluated in order to secure a stability that is absent in all previous efforts. It must act as a

synthetic within the paradigm under which economics and human nature align, allowing it to

adapt effectively in order to remain stable in its environment. Government does not occur

naturally, it is not entirely conducive to satisfy all respects of human nature. It is often seen as a

foreign body. The ability to adapt in a foreign environment is what ensures survival and stability

in the regard of government is defined as the "Synthetic Coherence."

Representation is no longer based on geography or region. Instead, elected officials who

are endorsed by their party will compete nationally for a specific position. From here, candidates

will run the campaigning circuit in order to merit public support. Systems that are based on

geography inevitably result in misrepresentation of the minority; that minority could potentially

represent 49% of that specific region. Therefore, it would be possible that 49% of the population

are being misrepresented.

All candidates run on certain principles or believes; they cater to a specific group or

groups. If they are not bound by geography, they can gain support from a larger, more diverse

target audience. This would lead to the representative being a far more accurate portrayal of who

they represent. Geography is correlated little with one¶s political beliefs. The candidates will

seek national support to elect them to a certain position, along with the support of their party.

The election system is also revised entirely. It is common belief that votes can often be

³bought.´ Undeniably, it takes a considerable amount of money to run for election in the United

States. Now, the Department of Election will construct an election circuit which involves a series

of debates, interviews, and other appearances. These will correlate directly with each major

branch of government on individual occasions. For branches that are the center of more debate,

the circuit may return there more than once. The entire circuit will be very publicized, but will

focus on acknowledging each candidates merits and accolades from past positions held.

Candidates will be allocated a certain amount of funds, but the majority of commerce resulting

from the election will revolve around the bidding contract for the broadcasting of it on television.

This will result in the broadcasting agency receiving offers to air commercials. This allows the

private industry to indirectly fund the campaign system. Therefore, candidates must rely on their

merits and accolades for their election, not their wallet.

The election system has also been revised that limits what positions are open for election.

Each branch of government is connected to a tiered hierarchy of power. Certain positions in

these tiers are open to election; these are known as ³Access Points.´ Candidates for this position

are those who go through the campaign circuit. The positions that exist between ³Access Points´

are appointed. The pool of applicants comes from that tier of power, or the one below it. This

results in the employee¶s evaluation being based on performance, not their campaigning. The

process is more comparable to a promotion. By the time they get to an elected position, the most

suitable candidate will be sponsored by the associated party and run for election. The other

parties competing for the position will also supply a candidate. It is possible for new members

who are not in power to run for election; they must go through the election circuit in order to be

c
 p

cc
c

eligible for election. Each candidates time spent in power previously will allow them to present

their previous accomplishments.

The specific definitions of what make each branch depend of specific others for power

have yet to be determined. Most of these binding principles will revolve around economics. The

division of the government is an extremely complex task. Only a temporary model has been

designed, but it is certainly sufficient. The branches include Military for the Exterior, Security of

the Interior, Judicial System, Welfare of the People, Adaptive Rights of the People, Adaptive

Needs of the People, Centralized Tax Fund, Centralized Funding Agency, Election/ Campaign

Circuit Agency, Adaptive Rights of Business, Adaptive Needs of Business and Trade, Business

of the Exterior, Infrastructure and Preservation of the Interior, and Relations of the Exterior. This

list, procured for hypothetical reasons only, has the government divided into thirteen separate

branches. It is important to remember that each of these branches is to be further divided,

creating a tiered hierarchy of power. Within each tier, the system is moderated naturally by the

convergence of different political parties and their ideals. Also, each sub-tier of power is

dependent on other sub-tiers for power. Beyond this executive counsel, each branch of

government forms a similar counsel within itself. An elected official serves as the head of each

sub-region of each branch of government. They work with other members of their branch

directly when they must extend beyond their specific responsibilities. These officials can also

cooperate with sub-regions of other branches as necessary.

Given the titles of these divisions, various hypothetical situations can be drawn in order

to illustrate the principles of this theory. In regards to the dependency for power, suppose that

Business of the Exterior wishes to lower import and export taxes. They must work with Adaptive

c
 p

cc
c

Needs of Business and Trade in order to accomplish anything that involves both branches. Or,

suppose that the Military of the Exterior wishes to defect. In the event that this would occur, one

would assume that a defecting Military would not adhere to legal limitations requiring proper

declarations and such, but it cannot be denied that the military would be immobile due to the fact

that it would become "locked-out" and would have no access to any funding.

The central leadership of this government will consist of the head elected officials

of each branch of government. Each branch of government, along with every elected or

appointed official, has already been given the responsibility to carry out their duty. They should

not need to seek further approval; their use of power should be judged on their performance and

past, not what they intend to do. In the new system, the checks will be implemented only if an act

carried out by any branch is objected to by another.

As it is, each branch has already been given the responsibility to carry out their duties. In

this system, the checks and balances are implemented if necessary based on a decision or change

that a particular branch has made, not what they hope it to do. Therefore, these branches do not

always meet as a full group. Branches will conduct business on their own, with the exception of

another system of indirect checks. Each branch is dependent on one or more others directly. For

example, the Military can take no action without funding from the centralized tax fund. This is

designed so branches can conduct business within their jurisdiction, but must resolve issues with

the associated branch if the issue extends beyond their jurisdiction. No single branch possesses

enough jurisdictions to seize complete power.

In the event that a single branch of government grows too powerful, a procedure known as a

³Lock-out´ will take place. If a particular branch of government (branch A) progresses to the

point where another branch (branch B) feels that branch A is abusing its power, a vote can be

c
 p

cc
c

issued to perform a "Lockout;" this is when a single branch of government is temporarily locked

out of power by a vote involving the heads of each branch, agreeing at least three to one, if they

deem it necessary in order to control the equality of power. Then, branch A will lose all

jurisdiction for a specified amount of time, or until the issue is resolved. No "Lock-out" can exist

permanently. With this system of checks, it would require the majority of the branches to

cooperate in order to obtain limited control.

The objective is to keep any single branch from accumulating too much power. In the event that

a particular branch would be locked-out, the country would be unable to operate with full

functionality. It can be explained as implementing checks and balances after the act, whereas

democracy in the United States implements them before the act. Under the "Co-Dependent

Structure of Power," Each branch of government depends the others for their power, therefore

the country cannot operate effectively if the majority of branches attempt to permanently lock

out a branch. In order to keep a majority from seizing control by any exploitation of this system,

the majority vote must be three-quarters of the entire count.

If this is the case, it is evident that the entire country is going through a perspective shift

supported by the majority, and is no more than an illustration of this system¶s ability to adapt.

One branch of government will be a Centralized Tax Fund. From here, funds are

allocated to different branches of government. A committee in a separate branch will be

responsible for allocating these funds fairly. Branches of government may also apply for grants

from the fund. All of the governments income will go into this ³Centralized Tax Fund.´ All

profits, donations, taxes, etc. will go into this fund. It is important to note that all activity of this

fund will be closely monitored and subject to audits or investigation. This will open up another

field on which candidates running for election can compete.

Within the government, interaction between branches is inevitable. However, the current

democracy in the United States operates on a system similar to bartering; this results in ³log-

rolling,´ or the exchanging of political favors. To eliminate these ³pork-barrel´ politics, each

branch and sub-branch will have its own funds. The main branches are allocated a certain

amount, which they divide up amongst their sub-branches. Within the government, this is

translated into a currency that exists only within it. This currency can be exchanged between

branches instead of exchanging favors. When the currency leaves the government, it is translated

into United States Dollars, backed by the Centralized Tax Fund. A sub-region of the branch

responsible for allocating funds will be responsible for this. This currency will be used only if an

exchange is necessary. If the resulting expense of an agreement is substantial to one or more

branches, this fund can be used to compensate.

Under this system of cooperation, operation of the government will be expedited

significantly. Branches and sub-branches will be competing for their issues priority. Initially,

efficiency will increase due to each branch not needing to seek further approval if the issue is

concerning elements within their jurisdiction. Beyond that, the competition between issues will

help push issuesthrough faster. The principles behind this system are structured to direct the

predictability of human nature in a productive fashion. It anticipates human ambition and directs

it with the progression of the country.

Another way to improve the systems efficiency is through the cost of operation. The

campaign-circuit being indirectly funded by the media is only one example of how the cost of

operation can be reduced. For lower level positions in the tiers of government, incentives will be

used in place of payment. These positions will be more for volunteers. These may include tax

c
 p

c
c

incentives, education or health benefits for family, etc. As the theory matures, there is little doubt

that more efficiency-related changes are made.

As the government is divided, certain parts of it will be spun off entirely. These will be

known as ³Independent Institutions.´ These institutions will become entirely separate from the

government and will have to compete in the open market. This will only happen to parts of the

government which would likely be far more efficient if run privately. The primary example is the

Postal Service. It will become its own private entity. In competition with other mail services, it

will have to compete for any government contracts. The Federal Reserve Bank will also become

privatized entirely. A national Mint will be established as part of the Centralized Tax Fund

branch. Private banks will then bid on the Centralized Tax Fund¶s contract for holding

government¶s fund. This example also illustrates how the system relies on economics.

The division will also result in ³Co-dependent Institutions.´ These will be institutions

that receive partial funding from the government, but will still compete in the open market. The

health system will compete on a private level, but the government-funded program will provide

adequate, less-expensive care to those of lower-income levels. As stated, Co-dependent

institutions will only receive minimal funding.

³Dependent Institutions´ are those that are funded entirely by the government for the

welfare of the people. These institutions includes the public services that aren¶t made

independent. The welfare system would also be a ³Dependent Institution.´

The specific definitions of what make each branch depend of specific others for power

have yet to be determined. Most of these binding principles will revolve around economics. The

division of the government is an extremely complex task. Only a temporary model has been

of the Exterior, Infrastructure and Preservation of the Interior, and Relations of the Exterior. This
