How Does Durable Coordinated Power Emerge?

This paper addresses the foundational question of how durable coordinated power emerges. Starting from three minimal conditions — plurality, interdependence, and processing — it derives two independent structural paths showing that coordination necessarily passes through meaning, and that durable coordinated power stabilizes through a seven-dimensional coordination architecture. The derivations converge on four structural theorems specifying properties of institutional stability, role persistence, authority formation, and legitimacy under replacement of individuals. Rather than offering a historical or normative account, the paper provides a constitutive explanation of how stable power structures emerge from minimal coordination conditions. The argument situates debates on power, authority, legitimacy, and institutional order within a structural framework that connects coordination theory, social ontology, and political theory.
