Concept from Michael Levine.
Applied to Governance
Multi-Scale Competency Architecture is the deliberate design of human governance to mirror the fractal competency structure that nature has already discovered after four billion years of trial and error: the same pattern of perception, decision, and action repeating usefully at every necessary scale, with no breaks in the recursion and no over-concentration at any single level.
When you build institutions that are truly fractal in this way, you get maximum resilience, adaptability, and legitimacy simultaneously, because you are aligning with the actual geometry of competence itself.
