Curtis talks about this in his farewell letter https://urbit.org/posts/essays/a-founders-farewell/#urbit--a... >Urbit's distribution and sponsorship hierarchy of galaxies, stars and planets is not designed as a political structure, or even a social structure. >Socially and politically, Urbit is a flat network of planets. >The sponsorship hierarchy and the senate of galaxies ... are technical governance mechanisms. ... Because sponsorship has an escape mechanism, it is not a feudal bond AFAICT the hierarchical part (with Azimuth) is essentially just for routing packets while the application layer stuff like chat is effectively peer-to-peer. |
