I'm not sure many religious people would agree that this is how it works. Theologically, God is never thought to be a bottom-up process, or a democratic process. Historically, I'm not sure it works either, as doctrine has always been a complex mixture of top-down ex cathedra declarations, and reactions to those declarations, and the interaction between what somebody in power wants, what they can get, and what happens next. This feels like somebody casting religion in terms of graphs because they understand graphs and think about them a lot. Like a programmer saying "after all, what is a marriage but a state machine?" or something unproductive like that.
