How do you reconcile this with formalism? To most people written constitutions and legislation would seem to be a move in the directing of greater formalization.

Moldbug criticised the US constitution for not actually describing the US's power structures corectly.. Formalism more about turning power into quantifiable and tradeable shares

So is it that they don't accord with the reality on the ground, e.g. the social "contract" and written constitutions which superficially take the form of contracts, and thus serve as tools of dissimulation?

So to satisfy this understanding of formalism, you need to have enforceable, literal contracts between individuals. Anything else is pretense.

Yes, Moldbug's suggested way was to turn governments into joint stock corporations, whoever really has power would become shareholders, the change is that their power and responsibility are now explicit
