style=‘font-size:10.0pt;color:black’>The citizen is conceived of as an individual

    The object was called a Sleeve. A Sleeve is a color coded set of positions 

    which are generated through responses to litmus tests. A citizen will 

    have a full sleeve which may be revealed in full or in parts. By parts, 

    these sleeves will indicate affinities which are designed by the beholder. 

    For example, if I have ten interests, I can select several Litmus tests 

    and then map out a position. I can also pick out an individual and then 

    compare his sleeve to mine. For the moment we can say that an individual 

    has an 'affinity template'. A partisan group will also have a composite 

    affinity template of its membership, as well Houses can have composite 

    affinity templates. If we were to implement this in a simple way </font></p>
