Nine shapes. One of them leads in you.
Every association operates differently, but those differences cluster into recognizable shapes. Sociogene places an organization across four dimensions, how power works, how it meets change, who it serves, and what powers the work, and where it lands sits near one of nine archetypes. Almost no association is purely one. Most are a blend, with a lead shape and a few leanings. Here are all nine.
The Citadel
Led from the center, built to endure.
The Parliament
Argued into being, and stronger for it.
The Republic
Run by its members, built to outlast them.
The Guild
Where mastery is the price of belonging.
The Legacy
Faithful to what was handed down.
The Village
Where everyone is known by name.
The Movement
Gathered around a cause, and built to move.
The Frontier
At home at the edge of what comes next.
The League
Far-flung, and stronger for it.
