At a certain point of development, where you are seeing administrative states and money systems, which point to an indication of a certain amount of distance, diversity, and complexity and integration of system organization, ideology becomes more important to the global governance of such connected systems.
Local conditions like ecosystem behaviors, day and night and weather cycles, and the many cultural practices across varying geographies could overwhelm a large enough and integrated enough state of social organization.
So you see much more energy going into the production and maintenance of constitutive ideologies, which are to compress local and granular motivations and operations into a unity which nevertheless allows for autonomous governance of its lower systems which are to interface with localities.
The production and maintenance of ideology then is both a fraught and precious thing, requiring immense responsibility to coordinate systems, systems that must be directly involved in the coding of their own functions in relation to the whole. Witness the calcification of ideology today: where its boundaries are cynically and artificially maintained to divert resources around the constitutive elements it is to govern.
Beyond the sheer tomb-like walls of frozen ideology, further collective analysis drops away into the mysterious abyss, as desperate negotiations are carried out within the desiccated fields behind its walls.
