Leader-based paradigm
Leader-Based Paradigm Hypothesis (name used in the articles)
The organization of the human species through a structure in which decision-making is gathered in a centre. It is not a choice but a structural consequence of the survival formula: surviving as a group requires cooperation, cooperation requires coordination, coordination requires a decision-making mechanism; as scale grows, consensus becomes harder.
