Circle, Democracy, Leadership

As has been previously discussed, a Circle, the two-dimensional figure one property of which is Area, needs to be distinguished from what the term usually denotes, i. e. the Circumference of a Circle.  Now, the Circle, properly conceived, illustrates a fundamental problem for Democracy--how, just as the Center of a Circle is both one among its many points, and is functionally unique among them, the Leader of a Democracy can be both only one member among the others, and, yet, is functionally distinctive.  In contrast, the mere Circumference of a Circle evades the problem, since its Center is not a part of the 'circle' thus understood, but is also the origin of all its points, thereby suggesting a Theocratic image.  Regardless, one approach to a solution is to conceive a Circle as dynamically generated radially from an initial point, a process that even the Emanatist Spinoza does not consider, so that the Center is both part of the generated Circle, and is, still, a unique point in it.  The resultant mode of organization can thus be conceived as Ordinal, i. e. the Center as the First point of a Circle, and, like, in any Ordinal sequence, only one among a plurality of constituents, the application of which to a Democracy is apt, since to 'lead' connotes to 'be first'.
