Structure is order, both figuratively and literally. Structure is the cornerstone of civilization. Structure is an antonym of chaos.

Structure is the cornerstone of architecture. Structures give us protection, structures separate us from the elements, we leave our mark on the planet through the structures we build.

Structure is also the definition of a structure. Everything is planned out and executed perfectly. All bodies converging to create a single organism. Everything is structured out. It is a pre-requisite of functionality.

The larger we structure something out; we deal with the challenge of governance. In order to circumvent this, we create subdivisions to individually focus on a certain area. They in-turn add structure to the whole. Dividing it in-turn allows for a greater system as a whole. Instead of a single governance, the larger body focuses on the big picture, the smaller ones focus on the details. When the largest body is merged with other like-so systems, an even greater structure is created…and the process goes on.
