Description
Chor Pharn:
A system-state is not a strong state.
It is not a Leninist state.
It is not a technocratic state.
A system-state is a civilisation that has:
a coherent centre
responsive peripheries
a memory architecture
an industrial metabolism
an infrastructural nervous system
a sovereign financial circulatory system
and a feedback loop that binds all the above together
China is the only one in this category today.
Japan once approximated it. The USSR attempted it. The US has fragments of it. The Gulf is constructing a synthetic version. Southeast Asia is experimenting with corridor-scale variants.
But China is the only full organism, running at scale."
