| Functional Sequence (1-20100428-124005)
|
| The term functional sequence refers to a hierarchical organisational element within a technate that has responsibility to ensure that holons carry out activities compatible with the overall goal of the technate and each holon has open communications channels with at least one other holon in the network. Therefore, the functional sequences act as a checking mechanism for the holons.
|
| Membership (1-20100428-124150)
|
| Each person working within the teachate will have an area of expertise and a membership of the appropriate holon.
|
| Area of expertise (1-20100428-124314)
|
| Each functional sequence will correspond to a technical area such as agriculture, research, medical, education, energy, space, defence, production etc.
|
| Layers (1-20100428-124615)
|
| A set of function sequences will exist for each layer of the holarchy. One layer for groups, areas, zones etc. A sequences at each given layer will exist so long as the given layer in the holoarchy has holons.
|
| Directors (1-20100428-125233)
|
| Each set of functional sequences at a given layer of the holarchy appoints a board of directors. The members of a functional sequences appoint a director for the sequence they have membership of. The members of the board appoint an overall director for the board. The directors have the authority to stop activities of a holon at their level of the holarchy if the holon carries out activities in opposition to the goals or does not communicate with at least one other holon in the network. All holons within the technate acchept the authority of the director. The director does not have any authority to interfeer in the internal workings of a holon provided it has open communications channels and carries out activities compatible with the overall goal of the technate.
