In #economics, that's the naturally occurring trade between individuals. In #politics, that's anarchy where people default to establishing order.
Zone 5 is an interesting antifragile (Play is Antifragile) zone. It's where there is the most redundancy and the most functional overlap. It's where the competition has reached a balance of cooperation. It's a place where you are the learner sitting at the feet of God and His systems (Aligning with Gods Systems).
