Source (the system's condition of existence)
The system's condition of existence
The element required for the system to exist — without it there is no system. In will-centered structures the source is the lower class and cannot be substituted, because the time-energy it carries cannot be detached from the will; in capital-centered structures the source is the upper class (capital). It is not the substance of the corporate entity: it determines the sub-type, and when it is replaced the species remains the same. The leverage the source holds — "without us there is no system" — is source hegemony; when that leverage melts away through fusion and the source shift, the deepest brake forcing the system to protect its source comes loose.
