New distributed global governance system post-economic, institutional and civilizational collapse – Concrete proposal by Paul Elvere DELSART
I am Paul Elvere DELSART, creator of the EL4DEV program and founder of the Think and Do Tank LE PAPILLON SOURCE EL4DEV. My objective is to offer humanity a systemic, coherent and deeply transformative alternative in the face of the ongoing economic, institutional and civilizational collapse. The EL4DEV program establishes a new form of shared global governance, no longer based on mechanisms of centralized domination, but on the active participation of the people through distributed structures, societal diplomacy, network-centric architecture and ethical technology. This post-collapse global governance relies on a distributed architecture inspired by cybernetics and the science of complex systems. It aims at self-regulation through collective intelligence. The system I have designed does not depend on a central authority but on a global mesh of local actors coordinated by a dynamic information mechanism: the Big Smart Data EL4DEV. This technological tool enables the collection, analysis, modeling and real-time restitution of territorial transformation dynamics. It constitutes the digital infrastructure of a collective learning system at a planetary scale, acting as a catalyst for change. The living core of this governance lies in the small municipalities, united in Societal Economic Interest Groups. These groups are formed through the sub-program THE MUNICIPALITIES COUNTER-ATTACK. This mechanism transforms municipalities with less than 5000 inhabitants into pillars of interterritorial and transnational cooperation. Through their joint investments in eco-landscaping and educational projects labeled LE PAPILLON SOURCE, these municipalities become co-owners of the future, gain organizational and financial autonomy, participate in a fair redistribution of wealth generated by educational tourism, sustainable agriculture and scientific research, and become key actors in the foundation of new geopolitical blocs. The concept of the reinvented city-state is central. Each LE PAPILLON SOURCE city and each municipality integrating the movement are not mere physical territories. They are living centers of experiential learning, agricultural production sites, transdisciplinary research hubs, ecological sanctuaries and spiritual crossroads. The tourist cities and agroclimatic vegetal complexes LE PAPILLON SOURCE are the new Templar Commanderies of a non-military yet deeply intellectual, ethical and spiritual empire: the Green Empire of the East and the West, also known as the EL4DEV Confederation. In the society I promote and initiate, each municipality or city-state is governed not by technocrats, but by knights of a new era, ambassadors of the nations, trained in the arts of wisdom, ecology, systemic management and cultural diplomacy; and nations, by philosopher-kings. The governance I propose does not separate ethics from organization, nor spirituality from political action. It is a governance of connection. A governance in which leadership is no longer a conquest of power but a call to service, to listening, to the creation of meaning. The Platonic inspiration is assumed: leaders must be enlightened guides, awakened beings, in deep connection with nature, universal knowledge and collective intelligence. The war I lead by embodying the symbolic role of Green Emperor of the East and the West (also known as Henry HARPER) is a network-centric war. Not a military war, but a war of consciousness, a war of influence, a war of models. It relies on distributed networks of committed actors, interconnected, co-designers of local solutions with global impact. These networks operate according to the principles of resilience, interdependence and complementarity. The network-centric architecture enables the synergy of actions and the pooling of resources without the need for centralization. It is a fractal and dynamic governance where each local node reflects global values while addressing its contextual specificities. The entire EL4DEV program is designed as a systemic and transmedia work. It is at once a narrative of collective transformation, a geopolitical proposal, a living laboratory, a Live Action Role Playing game in Alternate Reality and real environment, and a catalyst for a new Renaissance: the second EL4DEV Renaissance movement. The infrastructures I call Vegetal Calderas, the cities and complexes labeled LE PAPILLON SOURCE, the intellectual and artistic transnational cooperation events, and the Politico-Societal Unions formed by national Societal Economic Interest Groups together constitute the organs of a New Societal World Order based on co-construction, territorial intelligence and supportive self-sufficiency. Thus, I propose not a vertical and coercive system of government, but an ecosystem of distributed governance based on shared responsibility, active spirituality and collective awakening. It is a planetary society project in which human beings regain their dignity, territories their sovereignty, peoples their cooperation and nature its respect. It is a credible and operational alternative to the current global order, a path to bring forth a fairer, wiser and truly sustainable world.
