and early modern model of the sublime body of the king<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0258 The early modern model provides a soil for mercantilist attitudes to take root.&nbsp;&nbsp;The mortal body of the king, incorporating regal values, associates to both (1)&nbsp;<em>sovereign acts, laws and decrees&nbsp;<\/em>and (2)&nbsp;<em>corporate (somatic) commercial activities<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The transition from kingdom to corporation is already present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0259 The organization tier is spontaneous.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is governed by simple rules of conduct.&nbsp;&nbsp;These rules are somatic.&nbsp;&nbsp;They come across as gut feelings.&nbsp;&nbsp;No one will trade with someone who cheats.&nbsp;&nbsp;Everyone will short the dupe.&nbsp;&nbsp;Commercial relations are based on mutual benefit and repetition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0260 The sovereign office enforces its laws and decrees through the mortal body of the king.&nbsp;&nbsp;These laws and decrees regulate commercial relations.&nbsp;&nbsp;One could say, they also empower commercial relations by allowing them to exist and flourish.&nbsp;&nbsp;For this reason, the wellness of the king and the health of the kingdom are confounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally, the sovereign makes exceptions.&nbsp;&nbsp;The exceptions prove the rule and show that the sovereign office corresponds to the immaterial and normative sublime body of the king.&nbsp;&nbsp;The exceptions also provide opportunities for more nuanced rules or alternative simple rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the sovereign office draws on the potentials of personal honor and political order.&nbsp;&nbsp;These potentials arise from&nbsp;<em>possibilities inherent in the stuff and the flesh of the subjects of the realm<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0261 Similarly, the active soul of citizen<sup>Marat<\/sup>&nbsp;situates&nbsp;<em>the potentials generated by the biopower of the regular citizen<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The administrative activity of citizen<sup>Marat<\/sup>&nbsp;mimics the mortal body of the king, mirroring sovereign acts that go with somatic attitudes and commercial relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, the immaterial and normative administrative authority of citizen<sup>Marat<\/sup>, here called \u201cdiscipline\u201d, calls to mind the sublime body of the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0262 Compare the following three nested forms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Slide30.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

king<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>citizen<sup>Marat<\/sup><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the king, the magical thing is transcendent.&nbsp;&nbsp;A perspective level elevates the king above the folk.&nbsp;&nbsp;The transcendent becomes immanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With citizen<sup>Marat<\/sup>, the perspective level gets painted over.&nbsp;&nbsp;Something immanent becomes transcendent.&nbsp;&nbsp;Something elevates citizen<sup>Marat<\/sup>&nbsp;above citizen<sup>regular<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0264 Where does&nbsp;<em>this surplus of immanence<\/em>&nbsp;come from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The surplus of immanence<\/em>&nbsp;comes from&nbsp;<em>a re-contextualization of salvation in England and similar nations in Christendom<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the medieval world,&nbsp;<em>the spirit of the individual<\/em>&nbsp;was defined in terms of&nbsp;<em>a mystical union with God<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The world was modeled as a sacrament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The theory of the sublime body of the king<\/em>&nbsp;exploited&nbsp;<em>the Christian concept of sacramental vocation<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;It turned&nbsp;<em>Christian revelation<\/em>&nbsp;into&nbsp;<em>a secret formula for glorifying the king<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0265 The Reformation (starting around 1550) got rid of such nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sacraments became symbols, rather than icons and indexes of&nbsp;<em>Jesus the King<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This left a vacuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Some<\/em>&nbsp;<em>other way of knowing<\/em>&nbsp;needed to replace&nbsp;<em>the superstition embodied by the sacraments and the Church<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thus,&nbsp;<em>a spirit of rational expectations<\/em>&nbsp;replaced&nbsp;<em>the spirit of the saintly individual<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0266 Here is the transition as an association of nested forms in the content level of the society tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a

Weber.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ideas have consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0268&nbsp;<em>The battles among Christian factions in pursuit of sovereign power<\/em>&nbsp;sealed the transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Peace of Westphalia (around 1650) established a new normal.&nbsp;&nbsp;The king now determined which Christian factions would be permitted in his realm.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thus, the king became both a seat of reason and a pastor to the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0269 According to Max Weber, the Protestant Ethic confounded saintliness and industriousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It glorified work, not the sacraments, as the passage to salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the process, it glorified&nbsp;<em>whatever work produces<\/em>, including commodities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0270 Thus, I arrive at Marx\u2019s simplification (around 1850), labeled \u201cthe commodity fetish\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commodity fetish considers&nbsp;<em>the commodity to be an object reflecting the glorification of \u2018something\u2019<\/em>, regardless of the management, production, and service underlying the presence of&nbsp;<em>the commodity as thing<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0271 Note how Marx\u2019s simplification leaves a key part of the Protestant Ethic begging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If&nbsp;<em>the construction of the commodity as a thing<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>the glorification of God through industriousness<\/em>, then what explains Marx\u2019s simplification, where the commodity glorifies&nbsp;<em>something<\/em>&nbsp;regardless of the industriousness going into its production?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did the Protestant Ethic open a door to another Ethic, one that sees the commodity as an object that reflects&nbsp;<em>the glorification of \u2018something\u2019 other than whatever went into its coming into being<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did&nbsp;<em>the glory of creation<\/em>&nbsp;supplant&nbsp;<em>the glory of the Creator?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0272 Marx\u2019s simplification (<em>It is a fetish about commodities.<\/em>) implements a logic (<em>The fetish produces a value (or price) greater than the generalized labor value of the thing itself.<\/em>) that will inform organizational objectives demanding sovereign power (<em>The regulation of commercial enterprises is necessary in order to compensate for the surplus value generated by the commodity fetish.<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0273 Since the commodity fetish simplifies a relation, it also distorts, so its implementation as&nbsp;<em>a logic within the social sciences<\/em>&nbsp;produces Kafkaesque constructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The logic of the commodity fetish<\/em>&nbsp;produces two contradictory loops of busy-ness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One develops and enforces organizational objectives that miss their targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One deconstructs and evades the misguided (and righteousness-fueled) objects<sup>org<\/sup>&nbsp;mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0274 Only by de-animating the industrious flesh of the citizen<sup>regular<\/sup>&nbsp;can citizen<sup>Marat<\/sup>&nbsp;achieve the goal of total conformity, hence purity, of administrative intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the society tier, citizen<sup>Marat<\/sup>&nbsp;obsesses and citizen<sup>regular<\/sup>&nbsp;is petrified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 3-tier system, citizen<sup>Marat<\/sup>&nbsp;aggresses and citizen<sup>regular<\/sup>&nbsp;evades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0275 Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0276 In the society tier, citizen<sup>regular<\/sup>&nbsp;clings to a spirit of rational expectations, remains industrious and focuses on the possibility of sanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in order to demonstrate that objects<sup>org<\/sup>&nbsp;are valid (even though they are unworkable simplifications), citizen<sup>Marat<\/sup>&nbsp;must dispossess citizen<sup>regular<\/sup>&nbsp;from the content level of the society tier and make the citizen<sup>regular<\/sup>&nbsp;a slave to the organization tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0277 So what is citizen<sup>Marat<\/sup>&nbsp;going to put in&nbsp;<em>the content level of the society tier<\/em>&nbsp;instead of citizen<sup>regular<\/sup>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How about&nbsp;<em>institutions that depend on the sovereignty of citizen<sup>Marat<\/sup>?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These institutions are collectively labeled \u201cthe
