David Stark appears to be referenced for his work on heterarchy and organizational structures, building on McCulloch's insights about how systems reorganize themselves around shifting values rather than fixed hierarchies. His concept seems central to understanding how decentralized networks—from hacker collectives to Anonymous—operate without traditional command structures, making it relevant to the course's examination of how AI systems and digital activism challenge conventional organizational logic.
