Editing Genius The Transgression/Chapter Three:Systems and Foundations (section)

===Organization:===
The Directors are more organized than other foundations. Every Director, whether she knows it or not, belongs to a Dominion, a geographic region that contains from ten to 30 million mortals. The United States contains twenty-three Dominions. Each Dominion is run by a Heterogeny, made up of three, five, seven, or eleven influential Directors called Dispensers, one of whom is appointed the Overlord and manages the regional finances. Many lesser ranks exist beneath the Dispensers. This group manages the affairs of the Directors in that area from some central location. Every ten years, the Heterogenies vote on a Clade, which consists of 44 Directors (currently; the population grows with the total number of Directors). The Clade, in turn, sets policy for all the Directors from a central location in one of the world's major skyscrapers. (The exact location varies from year to year.)

Directors technically have a single source for all Director-related scholarship, a monthly magazine called Control. However, that's the old way. The new Directors, the up-and-comers, favor an ever-shifting network of newsgroups and contacts squirting micro-assessments to their phones or laptops in a constant stream of evaluation and analysis.

Most rank-and-file Directors, whatever their style, interact only vaguely with the hierarchy of their Dominion, instead working on small-scale projects within their collaborative. Those that focus inward often serve simply by remaining loyal to those on top and fighting for scraps of power in predictable ways. Others, though, join some of the cultural groups within the Fellowship for Manifest Direction, organizations that exist not for the benefit of their individual members but to protect and enhance the foundation as a whole. The Jaguar People serve as the Directors' elite guards. The Mirror People handle counterintelligence and espionage. The Stochastic People deal with issues of raw material, transport, and extraction. The Sigil People monitor internal affairs and handle audits and personnel. The Tower People (whom everyone calls the People People) deal with the mundane population. These groups were once vitally important to the foundation's well-being and had intricate hierarchies and protocols; now, with the power structures of all the foundations flattened, most of these groups are little more than a news feed with jobs to be done and rewards to be offered.
