Verbatim quote · defining passage

“There is, in any community, a central authority, the final source of imperatives; and yet those imperatives are only worthy of being followed if the central authority is in accord with the signifying center: to put I more precisely, if the imperatives issued by the central authority are the same as those issued by the signifying center.”

— Adam Katz, The Center and Imperative Authority · 2020 · Anthropomorphics
