Self-led system: a governance structure where drives
Self-led system: a governance structure where drives activate but turn to Self (the mediator, awareness, compassionate facilitator) to address concerns rather than seizing control, with the activated drive saying 'what should we do?' indicating trust that Self will hear, take concern seriously, and factor it into decisions
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the boundary of 'self-led system' by describing the mechanism (drives activate but consult Self rather than seize control) and the evidence of trust (the question 'what should we do?' indicating reliable hearing and consideration), distinguishing it from part-led systems where drives take control.
