Human beings need the capacity to organize the world in order to understand and perceive it in a way that allows them to comprehend it. Without this notion of cosmos, of an organized whole, they would be lost, unsure of how to behave, how to act, and where to fit in.
This ability to see the world as an organized whole comes through communication, which can be divided into three basic notions of reality:
Theology, Mathematics, and Nature. Theology is responsible for describing invisible and divine things, or that which can be understood as divine.
Mathematics is responsible for codes, which are exact notions capable of describing the code line by which reality was programmed.
Natural Science is responsible for describing everything we understand as nature and how it behaves and organizes itself.
Since culture is a mitigating factor in preserving the organization of a people, their traditions, and what makes them unique, it is culture that allows the reality in which the citizen is immersed to present itself, and from this presentation, the citizen can extract their notion of what is right and wrong, that is, their notion of good and evil, in order to define for themselves what is just and from there derive their line of conduct, that is, to shape their morals and character. However, within this macrocosm that is the city, there are microcosms that are the groups – urban tribes – which, within this whole, are also responsible for a culture within a culture, small societies that subsist within cities. This necessitates a certain capacity for small – sometimes large – diplomatic skills from key individuals so that the cosmos continues to be organized and functioning, even with its particularities and individualities, contradictions and similarities from one group or individual to another.
What was once called urban tribes has been modified by technological advancements and has come to be identified as a social bubble. However, the problem with this is that diplomacy, which was once conducted through bridges between tribes, has become automated, generating a communication breakdown and distancing between individuals who are very different from one another. This makes the presence and activity of these key individuals, who possess the incredible ability to travel from group to group, even more important, making diplomacy organic again and preserving micropolitics.
