Ontology problem. Can "interinstitutionality" (by analogy to "intersubjectivity") be considered the same as "public"?
So to ask if "public" can be reduced to "inter-institutionality" is to ask if so-called public behaviors are in fact reducible to a union of institutional behaviors. Ie explainable by combining all institutional roles (worker, citizen, neighborhood dweller, family person)

The strongest counterargument I've heard is Corey Robin's idea that publics are created by intellectuals. They are effectively "audiences for specific arguments/narratives/discourses". But this has the weakness of being too partial a characterization

This feels framed utterly wrongly - commonwealth we the people http://www.onthecommons.org/work/what-commoning-anyway#sthash.K4t8Yr7m.22jsQXM0.dpbs …

It should feel wrong in that sense... I'm trying to question whether the idea of commonwealth has any real substance, or it's a construct like "god" that (speaking as an atheist) fails to exhibit any consequential agency outside of people's self-fulfilling belief in it
