Concerning David Ronfeldt's TIMN analysis, I take it that it is proposed as an explanatory scheme to help us understand ourselves. It is useful for example, in parsing the differences between tribal drivers of choice and value, and networking drivers. Thus discerning the limitations of Dunbar's number, (for example: see https://thefutureorganization.com/why-dunbars-number-is-irrelevant/ ). So quite useful. The institutional phase of history (perhaps circa 10,000 years ago) enabled human aggregations via the social technologies of regimentation and specialisation, which enabled large scale farming, settlement agriculture, and cities; via the mix of anonymity and civic subordination that entices people to migrate to safety away from the predation and violence of nomadic life. I find TIMN analysis useful descriptively, because it parses the drivers of decisions in terms of a real time mix of sources of identity, values, attitudes, purposes, hopes and desires. Plus sources of opportunity and threat. So thank you.
