HSRP-518
The author's model: two poles supply the "illusion of choice" that a single party cannot, and the two-party hive mind is "the false dichotomy of voting". That a party hive needs exactly two poles is not yet found, and it is not yet known whether it will be found.

2. The claim, in full
The author's model: two poles supply the "illusion of choice" that a single party cannot, and the two-party hive mind is "the false dichotomy of voting". That a party hive needs exactly two poles is not yet found, and it is not yet known whether it will be found.

3. What it rests on
-
The ground under the model, at its grades: party works as an identity (PROBABLE); plurality rules tend to narrow each race to two (PROBABLE); each party hive moves on its own trusted cues (PROBABLE; HOW A HIVE MOVES AS ONE BODY).

5. Counter-evidence
-
That a party hive needs exactly two poles is not yet found; it is not yet known whether it will be found. Party identity and dislike of rival parties are measured where several parties compete [SRC-939] [SRC-943], and /the-hive-mind offers no voting system, and no number of parties, as a cure.

6. Why this grade
not yet found; not yet known whether it will be found
The register defines AUTHOR'S POSITION as: A position the author holds and states as his own. It is not a research finding and it is not an evidence grade. The observation must say what ground the sources give it, and at what ladder grade.

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-414 · PROBABLE · THE TWO HIVE MINDS: party loyalty in the United States works as a social identity, and voters largely follow it. Rests on: the publisher's description of Achen and Bartels, Democracy for Realists (2016) (voters choose "on the basis of social identities and partisan loyalties, not political issues"; the book itself not opened); Finkel and fourteen co-authors, Science 370 (2020) (political sectarianism defined at p. 533; "cold feelings toward the out-party now exceed warm feelings toward the in-party", p. 533; a majority-party candidate "could get elected despite openly violating democratic principles", p. 535, reporting Graham and Svolik 2020, not opened); Rathje, Van Bavel and van der Linden, PNAS 2021 (each out-group term raised the odds of a post being shared by 67%, from the abstract, which gives n = 2,730,215; observational; sharing, not votes). Washington's Farewell Address (1796) is quoted as a text, the two fragments being the opening and closing words of one sentence. Against, carried on the page: Druckman, Green and Iyengar (2023) found "scant evidence of a direct link between affective polarization and democratic backsliding in the U.S." That the two party hive minds are steered by design is not yet found, and it is not yet known whether it will be found; what is found is an incentive that rewards hostility. The model of the hive mind is this site's own, set out on /the-hive-mind, whose section 9 is "THE TWO-PARTY ARCHITECTURE", and on /psycho-vulgarism.Relation: not recorded
- HSRP-590 · AUTHOR'S POSITION · The religious hive minds, and hive minds of their kind, are "likely a willfully engineered cultural construct erected by the priest class as an extension of exoteric doctrine, with intent to suppress the true inner teachings": programmed by design to bring about obedience, the intent "shown through the deliberate suppression of biophilic teachings". Such an institution "has ultimately inverted the original biophilic teachings of the ancient mystery schools", and the authoritarian hive is "a plague to society and welfare of humanity". (The author's position, in his words; "priest class" names an office in its controlling mode, never the clergy of a living faith as a body.)Relation: not recorded
