Introducing the (political) hypervisor

The hypervisor is the
focal point in high-
level politics

The hypervisor is a political organization intended to provide a "safe space" or a bubble for high-level polities and to serve as a gateway between a lower-level polity (a bedrock) and a higher-level one (a leaf). In our case, the only bedrock is the state. A cluster is a group of polities, the leaves, sharing basic design language and principles. The node is the primary leaf in a cluster. The star facilitates cooperation between the nodes. Applicants can join a cluster by joining a node. Speaking of the terms "node" and "star," let's import perspective from the governmental universe: when the state is the node, the intergovernmental organization is the star.

With hypervisors, the leaves are free to be themselves because the hypervisor is the one explaining their actions to the bedrock when needed. Leaves need not seek hypervisor recognition to run inside the hypervisor, although recognition secures their existence. A bipod hypervisor communicates between 2 levels, while a tripod hypervisor communicates between 3 or more levels. A diving hypervisor resides at the low level: it runs as a normal private organization under state authority, as a component or a state, or as a freestanding polity. The state is a freestanding diving hypervisor. A flying hypervisor resides at the higher level: it runs under the authority of a leaf or directly face-to-face with the containing hypervisor.

Depending on its policies and plans, a hypervisor can host 1 cluster or 2 or more clusters; however, hosting more clusters in the same bubble increases confusion and fragmentation. Hypervisor bubbles—which contain leaves of potentially disparate structures, functions, and purposes—can communicate actions, rules, and statements with each other. When the bubbles have radically different environments, the hypervisors must formulate some sort of protocols to assist communication. All leaves inside must then adhere to the protocols.
