V1 / V2 Corporate-Entity Versions (name used in the articles) · V1–V4 Corporate Entity (name used in the articles)

The four stages of the corporate entity's approach to pure Physis; the criterion is the human's share in the symbiosis. The axis is independent of the capital/will distinction. V1 — human-managed: the ultimate owner and director of the structure is a specific person or persons; if the leader changes, the structure may change; Nomos can show itself. V2 — managed by corporate entities: continuity lies in the structure, not the individual, and the chain of decision is organized among corporate entities; Nomos's entry point narrows. V3 — AI-managed: the first front is the bureaucracy — the upper class gains access to the bureaucracy's levers without paying the efficiency cost of fusion; what it really touches is time-energy's attachment to its human carrier. V4 — symbiotic with AGI: the corporate entity now depends not on the human but on AGI; the door through which Nomos enters the structure closes completely.
