Discussing network hierarchy is difficult at best and involves speculation on relationships that have not been defined by any known source. Preliminary evidence suggests the network operates on a peer-to-peer basis, without a centralized control mechanism. Experiments with various configurations of the net were unsuccessful in providing a clear-cut top-down structure. Searching through the individual web sites failed to turn up documentation showing a definitive command and control group. There were however hints that a rudimentary one might exist, or a least a deference to the older and larger organizations. These clues came from messages passed between the sites and in training conducted by the better-established organizations for their smaller downlinks.
