Key Notes
Their dialogue must operate as both public language and private language because hostile servants and suitor spies may overhear them.
Factional politics requires cheating inside a bureaucracy, so successful factions must solve secrecy, trust, and coordination through secret-society structures.
Jiang defines the strongest organization through hierarchy, purpose, selflessness, love, money, secrecy, discipline, energy, and negative emotions generated by sin.
Transgression is defined as breaking taboos, social norms, and social laws; Jiang proposes that greater transgression creates greater cohesion and synchronicity because secrecy becomes necessary for survival.
Because the pyramid had to appear as God on earth, Jiang argues its builders would preserve mystery by destroying models or records so later people saw it as a divine gift rather than a reproducible technique.
