The isocratic principle used to explain phenomena — foundational concepts, measurement framework, and data sources underpinning the IOCE Atlas analytical layer.

Isocracy: The Model
The constitutional principle that governance becomes legitimate only when power — both formal authority and actual operative control — is distributed so widely, transparently, and corrigibly that no actor can maintain durable domination.

Measurement Framework
The Rudiments of OCDI
A plain-language explanation of the Ownership-Control Divergence Index — the formula that measures how far a system is from a fair balance between ownership and control, with worked examples and philosophical grounding.

Isocratic Principles Applied in the Atlas
1
Equal civic standing — no actor accumulates durable domination
2
Ownership-control alignment — OCDI measures the divergence
3
Transparency — auditable data flows as constitutional requirement
4
Structural balance — five-branch counterweight architecture
5
Corrigibility — drift must be detectable and correctable
6
Anti-capture — institutional legitimacy requires real power distribution
How OCDI Is Scored in This Atlas
i
The OCDI of an entity measures the gap between ownership (economic stake) and control (effective decision power). For the curated global layer, ownership/control are not yet audited per entity, so OCDI is assigned by a documented structural heuristic: each entity's publicly-known ownership/control class maps to an OCDI proxy. State-controlled and founder/dual-class structures diverge most; widely-held institutional ownership diverges least.
ii
For private/oligarch entities the OCDI is computed directly as the ownership-control wedge — the absolute difference between an individual's estimated economic ownership and voting/effective control of their primary holdings.
iii
For governments the OCDI expresses divergence between nominal public ownership (citizens) and concentration of effective control, assigned by a governance class (consolidated-democracy → authoritarian).
Data Layers & Provenance Tiers

Every point carries a provenance tier and a confidence level — shown in the marker (audited renders solid; less-certain data renders fainter and dashed) and in its popup. A live Baltic-register ingestion pipeline (GLEIF, OpenOwnership, the Estonian and Latvian registers) feeds the staging layer; the global layer below is curated.

How to Read Confidence
●
Audited — sourced, verified ownership/control. Marker solid. (None yet in the global layer.)
◌
Structural heuristic — OCDI inferred from ownership/control class. Marker dashed.
◌
Estimate — a numeric seed confidence. Marker dashed, labelled with a percentage.
·
Unspecified — no recorded provenance. Marker dotted and faint.
