But I don't think society is a deviation from anarchy. Your definition
of anarchy seems to preclude any kind of order, mine does not. Anarchy,
as you are using the term, won't supply the stable yet dynamic society
that you seek. I have no argument with that and I'd like to untangle
myself from the impression that I do. Ideally I'd offer another term to
describe what I'm trying to outline but nothing springs to mind as being
more suitable. How about if you do a mental search-and-replace on our
discussion and everytime I use the word 'anarchy', switch it for
something which carries less baggage for you.

I wouldn't even go so far as to say it *would* evolve. It is one of a
number of possibilities.
