Dunbarrios replaces hierarchy with protocols, trust with structure, and productivity theater with real coordination.
Hierarchies scale control, not care. Traditional organizations default to pyramids because they are legible on a whiteboard. But at scale, they excrete bureaucracy that eats human empathy.
Tools optimize visibility, not coherence. Our current stack generates noise. We are drowning in notifications while starving for actual connection.
The Vertical Illusion. We mistake the org chart for physics. Dunbarrios restores the "horizontal reality" of human connection.
The atomic unit is 5-9 people. Everything else is federation.
Maintains system hygiene. Surfaces risk and stalled routines. Cannot assign work or override consent. Rotates every quarter.
Executes tasks and routines. Logs completions and blockers. Authority emerges from contribution, not position.
Represents the circle externally. Bridges adjacent circles. Rotates to prevent a permanent political class.
Used for routines, spending, experiments. "Do you have a critical objection?" Silence equals consent.
Reserved for membership, mitosis (splitting), and expulsion. One "No" blocks.
We don't optimize for GDP. We optimize for liberation. What percentage of your income do you actually need to survive?
"I am working primarily to survive. Losing my income is an immediate crisis."
We replace the patent with the leaf. Innovations are published with attribution, but without monopoly.
