The Foundation
The foundation is the weight-bearer. Any system or structure gets its primary support from its foundation. Any system or structure whose foundation gives way to the pressure or weight on it will collapse, whether it be a building or a sociopolitical hierarchy.
The foundation is the most important part of any system. If it is destabilized, then it is only a matter of time before the system collapses and breaks down.
The most stable and durable physical system is a sphere, and it is the most naturally occuring physical system in the universe because of gravity. Stars are spheres. Planets are spheres. You can (possibly) arrange human social and political hierarchies in a spherical way.
The thing about spheres is that the most important part of them is never the surface.
The most important part of a sphere, like a planet or a star, is the center of it. The center of its gravitational pull on itself. That is the foundation of a sphere. It bears the weight and responsibility of the whole system on that single point.
The center of a sphere is the equivalent of the base foundation stones of a building. It is a three dimensional foundation, as it bears the weight of the sphere from all degrees and all directions. A true foundation.
The center, or "bottom," of a spherical hierarchal system would be the power seat, not anything on the surface. The center of the earth is far more significant and important than the peak of Everest ever would be.
When the "foundation" of a massive object like a star gives way, then that object collapses in on itself to form a singularity. A black hole. This is a testament to the importance of a foundation of a system, spherical or otherwise. If the foundation gives way, the whole system collapses.
To me, you need an invincibly strong foundation to sustain an existence as infinite as this one. One strong enough to bear the weight. To me, that foundation is Jesus.
The infinite God.
He is the foundationstone of the whole system.
The only one strong enough to bear that weight without collapsing.
