#Rhizome

A rhizome is a structure without trunk or apex, like an underground root system, through which ideas and information diffuse in a non-hierarchical fashion. On the surface, organizations and communities appear orderly, but beneath them the rhizome writhes freely, linking nodes at will and defying control. It mocks reason and authority, endlessly regenerating and connecting in ways that corrode the illusion of order from within. Celebrated in academic treatises, in practice it is dreaded as the root cause of confusion, leaving command chains and accountability floating in midair.
