Already inside
Say governance is a matter for political theorists, and separate from all this.
The roads you walk on. The water you drink. The air. The currency your labour is paid in. Each is a condition the shared structure has been writing across everyone inside it, including you.
You have already been governed. Where the boundary was read honestly, your coupling was protected. Where it was read dishonestly — authority extracted below the line, or abandoned above it — your life was distorted at exactly that resolution.
There is no neutral ground.
