0230 However, unbeknownst to Graeber and Wengrow, there is another definition that arises from a historical differentiation of category-based nested forms due to the explicit abstraction afforded by speech-alone talk.  Society₃, organization₂ and individual in community₁ are the first to differentiate after the first singularity.  The differentiation continues until situation-level sovereign power_3b differentiates from content-level institutions_3a in the society_C tier.

0231 Here is a picture comparing the two situation-level category based nested forms.

0232 The first nested form is from the chapter on presence in Razie Mah’s masterwork, How To Define the Word “Religion”.

The second nested form is from chapter ten in David Graeber and David Wengrow’s masterwork, The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity.

0233 From this comparison, I conclude that Graeber and Wengrow’s definition of the “state”_2b coincides with sovereign acts and decrees_2b.  The potential for order_1b parallels the possibility of domination_1b.   The potentials underlying the term, “domination”_1a by extension, associates to the possibilities inherent in righteousness_1a.  Or even worse, the potentials underlying the term, “domination”_1a, defines righteousness_1a.
