Hexagonal structures and anarchy: My thesis: given normal geometric plane, the optimal way of dividing it would be hexagonal shapes. As seen within the honeycomb: a hexagonal structure uses the least material to create a lattice of cells within a given volume. Thus, as has been purported by many scientists, territories should assume hexagonal shapes at high densities and in a uniform environment.
First, let us note that the majority of boundaries carved by states are somewhat geometrically sloppy. They normally form non polygon structures. Yet, territories within each country are divided to more closely resemble polygonal type structures.
And here I state my thesis; the more polygonal the structure of property division, the more resemblance of specie cooperation, whereas the less polygonal the boundary, should delineate more social strife. Thus, if we look to areas of no state, we should see more polygonal type of shapes within property boundaries, and these shapes should approach hexagonal structures as neighbor relations increase. If true, than such polygonal structures should confirm are notion that relations are more peaceful without a government hierarchy.
Interesting thought. I agree that there is a class of scructures that is characteristic for different types of organizations but I need further proof that hexagonal structures are optimal. Why are squares not optimal? Show me please at least a sketch of a proof.
If we find out theoretically what class of optimal structures relates to anarchy it would be nice to find out how in reality these features are correlated, that is where do we find that less government leads to those structures.
But how would anarchy be connected with the need to economize borders? I’d actually hold the contrary view, that the more border there is, the more freedom (assuming the state, of course). Minimizing border would minimize the opportunity to flee.
Edit: Plus France is quite hexagonal. That never-ending fountain of socialism
