<plang="en">The value of vector summation lies in the fact that regardless of how large the divergence is, even if it is 179°, it still forms a parallelogram (Figure 7, with an inaccurately proportioned illustration), although the resulting vector sum is very small. On the other hand, regardless of how small the divergence is, even if it's just 1°, it still forms a parallelogram, and the vector sum lies in the middle of the 1° angle (Figure 8). As long as the vector sum is calculated according to the Law of Parallelograms, it will always be positioned in the middle of the two vectors, commonly referred to as a compromise.</p>
<plang="en">Simultaneously, if the departure of certain members would result in significant losses for the overall interests of the community (such as taking away capital), other members within the community can recognize this. Therefore, they can make trade-offs during the vector summation process, ensuring that the correction of historical injustices is maintained without causing those members to leave. Through sufficiently and direct communication within the empirical range, interactions can aptly find the balance point that sustains the community's best interests. This process doesn't halt the correction of injustices but rather continues to progress toward fairness and justice with an incremental pace.</p>
<plang="en">However, recursive self-organizing society can still draw upon the spirit of positive freedom by establishing a Universal Declaration of Human Rights based on universal values. This declaration would require the approval of more than half of the entire population through approval or amendment, and simultaneous unanimous approval from the highest level block of recursive self-organization. It would serve as a fundamental law standing alongside the rules of recursive self-organization, superior to all other laws, aiming to ensure the basic freedoms of individuals.</p>
<plang="en">Some argue that the election of "elites" by the "mediocre masses" is a paradox of representative democracy. When the scale of elections far exceeds the empirical range of voters, they can neither truly understand the candidates nor grasp the qualities a leader should possess. Ignorance can accumulate in quantity, but no matter how much ignorance is accumulated, it does not add up to wisdom. Wisdom, however, cannot be summed quantitatively due to differences in the direction of vectors. As a result, when viewed individually, everyone may appear intelligent, but when forming a group, they may become mediocre masses. The essence of this paradox lies right here.</p>
<plang="en">As for when recursive self-organization will break through national boundaries and enter the international order, it currently remains in the realm of science fiction. Whether humanity can overcome differences in terms of nations, ethnicities, religions, historical cultures, geopolitics, etc., to achieve vector summation seems too daring even for the wildest imagination. However, looking back at humanity's globalization over the past five hundred years since Columbus, which has surpassed the preceding tens of thousands of years, the acceleration in the future is bound to be even more intense. Addressing challenges such as protecting the Earth, exploring the universe, controlling technology, and managing diverse communities requires the integration of a global order. In the book "Ntopia", which I began writing in 2000, I proposed "recursive autonomy - recursive federation" as a solution to these issues.</p>

<plang="en">The market economy is not the "end of history". Utilizing recursive self-organization to systematically transform consumerism, it will eventually lead to a society where people collectively move towards freedom, equality, achieving fairness and justice, material abundance without extravagance, and comprehensive security from cradle to grave. At that time, the driving force of social development will shift from material pursuits to aesthetic pursuits. Humanity will transition from being materialistic beings to spiritual beings, marking another significant leap in civilization, akin to the transformation from primitive animals to humans.</p>

<plang="en">Recursive self-organization has richer ideal resources compared to representative democracy. It can offer unique perspectives on issues such as people's sovereignty, widespread participation, vector summation, autonomy, federation, and ethnic concerns, establishing a distinctive ideological framework and holding a strategic position. In terms of form, it can also enable the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to find connection points with its original ideological context, achieving a form of continuity and innovation.</p>
<plang="en">"The probability of self-reform by autocrats is extremely rare, and there is little hope to be placed in it. On the other hand, for the people to replace public power organizations from the bottom up through recursive self-organization, the ideas need to be widely disseminated in advance to start synchronously on a large scale. Without achieving this, it is difficult to break through when autocratic power has the ability to suppress; when autocratic power declines, those who rise first may still reject recursive self-organization."</p>
<plang="en">Although this recursive self-organization does not involve politics, its concepts and methods can be grasped by the public during the promotion process. The replicability is the greatest advantage of the transformation through recursive self-organization, as the successful models in specific areas can be expanded through a continuous replication model—either through spontaneous replication inspired by the models or through organized promotion. Once the historical conditions are ripe, it can be rapidly replicated within public organizations for political transformation. With such a foundation, other forces will be powerless to oppose recursive self-organization at that time.</p>

<plang="en">In an era lacking communication capabilities, society separation into dualistic is an inevitable fate. With the advent of the information age, communication capabilities have been unprecedentedly enhanced, and new communication technologies provide robust support for recursive self-organization. For instance, various participation methods in recursive self-organization—public power organizations, collective power organizations; individuals participating based on residence, workplace, different projects, etc.; the need to calculate voting rights during elections, conduct authentication, transfer permissions based on election results, etc. Members may have multiple identities, and identity management alone is exceptionally complex. It requires tracking changes, maintaining rules, conducting supervision, etc. If all this is managed by humans, it is quite challenging, prone to errors, and susceptible to human interference. However, thanks to the information age and computer networks, which allow rapid, convenient, and precise management, as well as the prevention of personal biases and fraud. Smartphones further provide the technological foundation for universal participation, giving recursive self-organization wings. It can be anticipated that the horizontal development of societal organizations will experience an unprecedented leap due to "recursive self-organization + mobile networks."</p>
