I think what may apply is “Swarm” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarm_intelligence )
I apply this to the attributes of a “Connector” and a “BridgeID”, but it appears it may apply here as well.
FYI, Tim

Hi Folks - Some alternatives to murmuration (which is great, by the way). Deleuze called it "a body without organs," but that is too ghoulish. "Holon" is too space-aged. "Lagrangian entropic gradients" is too wacky.
I didn't realize that "stakeholders" was a term of art, and I have used that too freely in the past
I have returned to using "community of interest," but with the qualifier that it is also time bounded to accommodate the notion of change through time.
Kind regards,Scott

+1 Andrew;
I use stakeholders in a very particular sense when I do business process improvement work, and I suspect others will have particular uses for the contexts from whence they came. Hence I agree that stakeholder should be off the table.
We need something that is, to some extent, a self descriptive term for transient and/or permanent groups of entities that are created by their relationships to one another or through the relationships that they have with each other - if I understand what you were describing. I’m reminded more of a flock than a community, since the group can change and move based on the rules by which the particular flock was consituted. Simple flocking rules generate complex coordinated flocking behaviour - which is what I sense you’re trying to get at.
One is tempted to refer to a murmuration, but that might be too cute.
Unbelievable Starlings
A super amazing flock of starlings swoops low over the streets.

- Adrian is kindly running the next call. He will send out an agenda focusing on agency restatements.
- After her vacation, Eve will work with John and Andrew (and maybe rope in Tim as well?) on recasting whatever old Binding Obligations are still useful into norms language, and try to bucket them into B/L/T clauses for putative sections of a “stack".
