All Global Actors are Networks (aka relationships sets) of humans:
SBN state-based network – states or super-state organizations
KBN Kin-based network – people driven by familiar or tribal ties
SEI super empowered individuals or networks of super empowered individuals
MBN meme-based network – people driven by shared beliefs such as religion, culture, political ideology)
GBN Gene-Based or Gene-Influenced Network (reference discussion)
PDN purpose-driven network – e.g. business enterprises, media outlets, NGOs, social entrepreneurial organization, charities, PMC/PSC/PIC
Also:
Mashups – The union of 2 or more actors of different types which I will note with the union operator e.g. MBNuSEI
Overlaps – The intersection of 2 or more actors of different types which I will note with the intersection operator e.g. MBNnSEI
Am I missing any fundamental type of actor here?

PurpleSlog - The Future Will Be Kludged 
I am adding RLNs (Resource Linked Networks).
Before revisiting this:
– I have ordered and will read “Making Things Work: Solving Complex Problems in a Complex World”
by Yaneer Bar-Yam
– I have ordered and will read “The Exploit: A Theory of Networks” by Alexander R. Galloway and Eugene Thacker
– I will re-read CGWs network posts
– I will go through my social network books (The Tipping Point, Six Degrees, Linked, etc.)
– I will revisit Bobbit’s book on the state
Note: Maybe just change “network” to organization in order to simplify the concept.

I should have one that is Geography based. Or would that fall under Resource Network. Yeah, I think so. Resource/Geography Based Networks (RGN).
These networks are overlapping and have different weights/focus on any particular issue or conflict.
