ABSTRACT

The uncertainties connected with the hierarchy's environment were successfully exorcised and made way for an intensive exchange of multiple network nodes with their environments. In spite of these attempts, however, the smell of sulphur will not pass, because the devil was cast out only with the help of Beelzebub, substituting one threatening uncertainty for another. The point seems to be that we cannot avoid switching from one devilry to another; however, one devil is not the same as the other. Beelzebub is different from Satan, and Lucifer is different from Beelzebub. Yet, in the background, the diabolic of network failure are lurking. The decentralization caused the devil of hierarchy to exit the organizational body, aching and groaning. In the face of network failure the present legal doctrine offers a false alternative by asking us to choose between a return to hierarchy and a move forward to decentralization.
