Who has authority in EarthSun?
No person is infallible. Legitimate authority should be limited, transparent, reviewable and tied to defined responsibilities such as evidence review or community care. EarthSun’s governance is still developing, so it should not imply settled offices, membership structures or public mandate that do not yet exist.
A deeper answer
The Living Foundation outranks charisma, but it too remains revisable. Future governance should separate editorial, scientific and organisational judgments where possible.
EarthSun’s position is bounded by the public Living Foundation. Where the approved record is incomplete, the correct response is to preserve the uncertainty rather than turn a plausible idea into doctrine.
Authority should be accountable to public principles and correction.
A divinely chosen founder, unquestionable hierarchy or verified mass membership.
