0484 Now, the organization tier looks even more like the society tier.

0485 On the assessment level, generalized labor value goes with the potential for continuing the organization.

This potential is actualized by surplus value.

Surplus value becomes the (apparent) Real that is contiguous with the (hidden) Real of the institution’s mission.

On the market-exchange level, the commodity fetish is the contiguity between a hidden abstract material and what the money sees, that is, the (apparent) price.

0486 Finally, in conducting a purchase, the buyer participates in the corporation level, not as a member of the organization, but as one who buys into a social relation with the corporation.

The buyer becomes contiguous with the actualities of management, production and service.

Remember, [is contiguous with] may be replaced by “surplus value”.

[Informs] may be replaced by “commodity fetish”.

0487 Thus, the pattern of the society tier is re-capitulated in the organization tier.

In Santner’s reading of Marx, the organization tier mirrors the society tier.

Shape-producing labor is surcharged with social mediation.  The buyer (often, unwittingly) enters into a relation with the corporation.  This corporation is imbued with the righteousness of value-producing labor.  An institutional mission situates that labor.

0488 The obvious example is brand-name recognition.

0489 The only remaining step is to add the dashed arrows, mimicking the upward flow of glory and the downward flow of livingness.

0490 Money flows upwards.  Money nurtures management, production and service.  Price turns labor value into money.  Money is what is Real for assessment.

Without it, the organization cannot live up to its institutional mission.

0491 An institutional mission flows downwards.  It virtually contextualizes the abstract material informing the price.  Then, it brings the buyer into contact with something that is not present, the actualities of management, production and service.

A purchase buys into a brand name.

0492 Typically, the corporation producing the shape is not in the same locale as the buyer.  Therefore, through transactions, the buyer establishes residence in a home that is not a place, but an institution.

The buyer indirectly joins an institutional mission that situates an organization’s value-producing labor.

0493 My derivation (starting at point 474) is complete.

The organization tier has become an icon of the society tier.
