People in an unstructured environment become friends with people who they aspire to be rather than who they really are. If a source of structure is identified, it is deemed discriminatory, hierarchical, or meritocratic. Is it possible to identify a source of structure that is equitable both externally and/or internally? Group dynamics would infer that if individuals within a group policed each other, an automatic hierarchy would form based upon external features. This is because unless the tools of intelligence acquisition, and a subsequent and arbitrary ranking metric were provided, the conclusion of an acceptable order would be improbable...unless forced.
