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.

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.
