As evidenced by atoms, DNA, and computer binary language; the most dynamic of systems have a complexity of implications derived from the simplest of centers. A solution should not attempt to reproduce the highly intricate design, but create the equation from which design arises.

The solution should address what the essays of humanities have predicately questioned: How to live freely while letting others freely live? If one is too controlled, then by definition one does not live freely (evidenced in strict theocracies or dictatorships). Reiterating the same thing differently: If one is too unrestrained in certain areas, then there is danger as the unrestrained overflows and inhibits the ability of others to freely live. These unrestrained "certain areas" currently converge around axes of economic power and special-interest absolutism.

Capitallism does not seek to stick the "lowest" class on "top," and thus reestablish the very situation it intended to correct. Capitallism prevents the top from becoming so out-ofcontrol that its very out-of-controllness leads to the misrepresentation and control of others. It does not call for hierarchical laws and committees to develop point solutions to patch every instance of power abuse that arises. Sometimes point solutions are necessary--legislative reform and taxes on inequality and consumption may be useful, though still lurking is the need for a more permanent and fundamental solution, one that will not be reversed with the whims of current special interest fashion. The goal is to identify patterns of problem, not the problems themselves, and apply solutions to the pattern.

It is crucial for a dynamic self-regulation to be the center of the solution, not imposed from some power above. The constitutional system of checks and balances was originally designed with this concept of intrinsic regulation in mind. Legislative, congressional, and judicial branches were designed to minimize the power of each other such that one could not destroy all. A brilliant theory, except for the fact that it neglected situations where the elected officials spoil from within, or when a government itself asserts an imperial rule. It did not thwart one very specific pattern of problem: Wealth equals power--power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
