Who Makes the Promise When Governments Change? — the owner’s essay, proposed 2026-10-22 as one of four 6,000-word essays from the exchange “Graph Learning Applications” (A33), later folded into organization-of-perspective: the state as a changing ecology of political authority. Legal continuity makes an international commitment the state’s, but its durability depends on processes on different timescales that reproduce, contest and transform the authority through which it is enacted; the Paris Agreement as the case.

| CLAIM-423 v3 | In a political collective, components that change at different speeds (attention, coalitions, elected terms, administrative careers, law and treaties, generational memory) are not only nested by timescale: under a given institutional arrangement their different temporal horizons affect which forms of influence each can accumulate, exercise and keep, and so which of them holds authority over the others, so a state can stay continuous as an actor while the organization producing its positions changes under it | The owner’s, at U28 of the exchange of 2026-10-22: domestic and international politics as the domain where “regime ecology” becomes concrete, with “separation of timescales in elections, durations of tenure in elected and appointed positions, lifespan, generational memory, etc.” creating “amorphous collectives of varying orders and degrees of coupling”. A28 stated the claim in its strongest line. It rests on CLAIM-331, that higher-level variables are characteristically slower, and denies that slowness alone settles which level governs. | Proposed |
