Will-Centered Corporate Entity (name used in the articles)

A corporate entity that draws its power from legitimacy and authority — states, political parties. Its source is time-energy that cannot be detached from its carrier: human will and consent; its source is therefore the lower class. Its survival depends on its success in producing legitimacy and preserving authority.
