A two-dimensional scatter plot. The horizontal axis is labelled "Consequential autonomy" and runs from zero on the left to very high on the right. The vertical axis is labelled "Participatory autonomy" and runs from zero at the bottom to very high at the top. Seven ellipses represent coordination zones. Their size, shape, and orientation encode internal variance on each axis. Near the bottom-left origin, a small ellipse marks the Oppressive zone, indicating near-zero values on both axes. Overlapping slightly to its right, a wide flat ellipse extends horizontally across the low-participatory band: the Imperative zone, wide on the consequential axis because consequential autonomy varies considerably, flat on the participatory axis because participatory autonomy is uniformly suppressed. Further right at the same low-participatory level, a wide flat ellipse marks the Technofeudal zone, sharing the same horizontal band as Imperative but at higher consequential autonomy values. Above these, a medium ellipse tilted slightly counterclockwise represents the Administrative zone at low-to-moderate participatory and moderate consequential autonomy. It overlaps with both the Imperative zone below and the Normative zone above. At center, a large roughly circular ellipse marks the Normative zone, reflecting high internal variance on both axes. It overlaps with Administrative below and Agoric to its right. Upper-center, a large ellipse represents the Agoric zone, extending high on the participatory axis with moderate-to-high consequential autonomy. To the right, a tall narrow blue ellipse tilted slightly clockwise marks the Interoperable zone: narrow on the consequential axis because consequential autonomy stays very high throughout, tall on the participatory axis because participatory autonomy varies widely from near-zero for strict protocols to moderate for flexible conventions.
