PLASTICITY-POWER RELATIONSHIP IN POWERFUL STRUCTURES

Essentially, a founding, sovereign mind determines the creative processes of all human structures, but especially organized institutions like the state. This determining mind manifests itself in various ways and forms in the institutions they create. Ancient, modern, and postmodern imperial structures also reflect these qualities to their addressees in the ways and forms they deem appropriate. While these structures and forms appear in various forms throughout human history, they are essentially embodiments of established power. These structures, which have existed since antiquity, imply the limitlessness of the ruler's power and give the impression of being printed, cast, or reproduced from a cliché or similar mold. These structures or artifacts, which imply the limitlessness of their ruler's power, are seen in various forms in structures like those of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Rome, as well as in their predecessors, modern, and postmodern states and organizations. This cliché-like or template-like platysm is particularly prevalent in signs and inscriptions depicting military, administrative, and other units within today's state structures. Although this stereotypical plasticity may at first appear simple, easy, cheap, and unimportant, it compels and motivates the viewer to think, given its location or context. Ultimately, the principle that form in all powerful structures is directed toward essence is understood to be due to the language used or the plasticity used, and sometimes to the inconspicuous or imperceptible at first glance, due to the deliberate imagination and decision-making of the creator.
