I presume they refer to Dee Hock's non-hierarchical
"management-by-a-group-of-equals" structure (chaos/order) see
http://www.cascadepolicy.org/dee_hock
http://www.funderstanding.com/mailing1.htm
Similar structure is proposed by Wilber/Koestler as "holarchical", being
the "management structure" that the "most complex holon", the human being,
runs by -- see "Brief History of Everything" etc:

They have similar effect, in my opinion, to the Co-operative structure of
Mondragon, and the Direct Democracy structure brought about by
"citizen-initiated binding referendum"
