Ranking dangers of X in roles as i) elected leaders or as ii) unaccountable senior aides to mentally/physically declining figureheads, or iii) as rogue extra-institutional actors?
Where X=
a) technocrats
b) ideologues
c) non-ideological grifters
3x3 matrix of ranks 1-3 🤔

There’s 4^3 = 64 possible configurations of an institution based on state of leadership (L), aides (A), and outsiders (O):
0: occupied by figurehead
1: occupied by technocrats
2: occupied by ideologues
4: occupied by grifters
Not all are feasible states.

Danger of a configuration is the state vector weighted by the danger rank.
Can do a configuration vs configuration as a 2 person game 🤔

Trying to sketch out an agent-based model of a 2-party system of administration. Kinda like de Mesquita dictators handbook but for executive action.
