Political Rhizome: Open, Equal and Undirected Social-Political Network
We could have a society where the law and especially the constitution would be simple enough to everybody to understand. Then we could construct the political system as a social network, that would be non-hierarchical and undirected. It is unavoidable that some nodes of the network would have higher values of closeness, betweenness and degree than others, but what could be done, at least, is that each political relation would be two way and that the network would be as connected as possible. This way the bureaucratic hierarchy and centralization around few ruling nodes could be diminished.
The process of legislation would be open, not only to everybody to see, but also to everybody to participate. Anybody could suggest a new feature in the law, or when a new question would appear, anybody could participate in trying to answer the question. Anybody could contribute to legislation and the society would make it sure no invalid code would be written: no laws too detailed, too particular, too unbalanced or simply too bizarre and unjust would pass.
Probably the legislation would slow down, not in particular cases, but in number of new laws. This is not a drawback, but a willed consequence: we have too many laws already, the number of the laws should not be increased but cut down. Most importantly the process of enacting of laws would become a bottom-up process, while it currently is a top-down process. The equal voluntary contribution could make the process of legislation significantly cheaper and more efficient in particular cases. Also, the decrease in number and detail of laws would leave more room for deciding the particular cases, which would increase the sensibility of the juridical decisions and the freedom of the citizens, who could affect their own situation more.
The bottom-up direction would make society more just, because the ruled would very directly contribute to the ruling, and perhaps most importantly, the legislation being open to all, it would also be more secure and more balanced, since there would be no privileged parties in the process of legislation. As a non-hierarchical system that would have the beginning of processes of legislation everywhere, and not in few leaders, it would be a rhizomic organization, where all parties are equal and interchangeable, and the legal and political processes would not start from defined ends, but from the middle.
