HSRP-433
A hive mind is any consensus held because the group holds it. The programmable hive, as this project calls it, is a group's line held in the PV mode: verdict first, the view fused with identity, contrary evidence discounted. Any mind can enter that mode, the author's included (PSYCHO-VULGARISM). A trusted source can then reset the hive's content. "Programmable" names a partial capacity, not a programmer. The evidence is in HOW A HIVE MOVES AS ONE BODY on /the-hive-mind. Who, if anyone, builds hives is the author's determination in WHO BUILDS THE HIVE. The authoritarian hive has a commanding center, members who enforce its line, and sameness valued for itself. The author's position is that this type is "a plague to society and welfare of humanity". The necrophilic hive mind is this project's term for the authoritarian hive at its worst, where its line and structures turn against life. Erich Fromm used "necrophilous" for an orientation in a person. Applying the word to a group is this project's own step, and the term never names a person or a people HSRP-412. THE AUTHORITARIAN HIVE MIND on /the-hive-mind sets out both upper rungs. A falsified hive stands beside the ladder: a line held only by sanction needs no PV.

3. What it rests on
-
A hive mind is any consensus held because the group holds it.
The programmable hive, as this project calls it, is a group's line held in the PV mode: verdict first, the view fused with identity, contrary evidence discounted. Any mind can enter that mode, the author's included (PSYCHO-VULGARISM). A trusted source can then reset the hive's content. "Programmable" names a partial capacity, not a programmer. The evidence is in HOW A HIVE MOVES AS ONE BODY on /the-hive-mind. Who, if anyone, builds hives is the author's determination in WHO BUILDS THE HIVE.
The authoritarian hive has a commanding center, members who enforce its line, and sameness valued for itself. The author's position is that this type is "a plague to society and welfare of humanity".
The necrophilic hive mind is this project's term for the authoritarian hive at its worst, where its line and structures turn against life. Erich Fromm used "necrophilous" for an orientation in a person. Applying the word to a group is this project's own step, and the term never names a person or a people HSRP-412.
THE AUTHORITARIAN HIVE MIND on /the-hive-mind sets out both upper rungs. A falsified hive stands beside the ladder: a line held only by sanction needs no PV.

- HSRP-317 · PROBABLE · Programmable PV and Narrative-Synchronized PV. Where identity fusion with an authority source replaces independent belief formation, new beliefs enter the identity layer directly, bypassing cementing — producing maximum-intensity defence of positions adopted days earlier with no connective tissue between successive positions.Relation: not recorded
- HSRP-412 · AUTHOR'S POSITION · THE AUTHOR'S DETERMINATION (the author's position): the line has been crossed. The author sets the model of institutionalized necrophilia beside the research as a determinant condition. His argument: a government that claims to rule a people because they cannot rule themselves, citing their immorality, must draw from that same stock the individuals who decide how it acts; absent morality within the institution, and having embodied the necrophilia harbored in the individuals of the population, the government is in a position and on a trajectory to devolve, and has thus crossed the line. Texts set beside the argument, each established as a text: Jefferson's First Inaugural (1801), Plato's Republic VIII, Federalist No. 55, John Adams to the Massachusetts Militia (1798) and Polybius VI.9. Necrophilia is Erich Fromm's term for an orientation of character in a person (Fromm, "Creators and Destroyers", 1964); its application to institutions is this project's model, and none of the texts quoted establishes that model. Polybius's own caution is kept: the stage of decline can be read, the time cannot, so the page names no date. The duty that follows is stated as the author's: to act on that knowledge, righteously and by lawful means, under a judgment that belongs to God (Acts 5:29); Nuremberg Principle IV is cited as a parallel only. The site's rule stands beside it: this is a moral judgment and no defense in any court (United States v. Benabe).Relation: not recorded
