Why Iran Is Unlikely to Fragment: A Structural Analysis of Political Cohesion

Abstract This paper advances a structural argument against the proposition that the Iranian state is likely to fragment into its constituent ethnic or regional components, drawing on the four principal factors that make such fragmentation structurally implausible: the integrative logic of plateau geography, the weight of a continuous imperial tradition of extraordinary temporal depth, the…

Water molecules stick to each other due to a property called *cohesion*. Cohesion is the result of hydrogen bonds that form between water molecules. When you pour water to the rim of a glass, the water molecules at the surface are held together by these cohesive forces, preventing them from spilling over immediately. This creates surface tension, allowing the water to bulge slightly above the rim without overflowing.

Tonight I saw a conflict among a group of people, and I had a stark realization: I could never be what is colloquially referred to as a "cop-caller," mostly because my cultural customs and dignity prevent it. I deeply value living in a society where adults address conflicts directly and constructively rather than escalating every minor issue. This is to say I prefer autonomy—the virtues of personal accountability and responsibly handling matters within one's own means—and have no desire to live in a nanny state. I'm mostly confident in my ability to reason—to argue for sane reasons if necessary, or to cooperate, compromise, etc. within groups by virtue of my own agency 99% of the time. My mind does not include whatever constructs cause some people to think, "someone walked on that patch of grass?" or "that person hurt my feelings?—let's call the cops." There are, of course, situations in which calling the police is probably the optimal decision—but that's entirely different from, say, situations involving jaywalking or a person merely feeling socially disenchanted.

Repeating Colours to Pull a Look Together - YLF

[whats-in-a-sentence]

The settler street fights were evaluated according to Indigenous criteria of rule-governed violence – combat designed to increase rather than damage relatedness. The criteria were established from a literature review and community consultation, outlining four boundary protocols and four cohesion protocols for healthy public violence.

BOUNDARY PROTOCOLS:

No hair-pulling, kicking or continuing on the ground, and no use of weapons

No serious physical harm – have to be able to walk away

No collateral damage to non-combatants

No unfair fights – consenting agents, combat minutes ensuring equal participation

COHESION PROTOCOLS:

Maintain dignity of everyone present

Seek resolution and coexistence

Relational accountability beyond the interaction

Group governance – adherence to a code

One hundred videos were viewed from six different settler states: Australia, Canada, Israel, New Zealand, Taiwan, USA. For each video we recorded and analysed violations of the Indigenous boundary and cohesion protocols.
