What are the proportional limits of a city? [O ser possivel enumerar as principais familias que a compoem.]
The pyramidization of the families came to extend its ascendency to the region to such a degree that a known French sociologist gave, as the only definition of a region possible, as that zone which is dominated by the influence of a great family.
There should exist an equilibrium by which the various regions of a country understand, in the dimensions proper to themselves, on one hand the degree to which they are sufficient unto themselves, and on the other hand, how it is that they are insufficient and their need to live in constellations, in families.
Within a common country, these regions would be oriented toward a common dream, by a common primordial light, united around the principal region of the country, which would be the apex of all the country’s regions. This apex/region would be one of attraction, a center of gravity much like a planet in relation to its satellites, and not like as happens in modern times when a “planet” absorbs and incorporates its satellites into itself.
The familial organization which I described may be compared to the waters of a swimming pool that, discretely but securely, are renewed in such a way as to avoid stagnation: neither do these waters become revolted torrents of adventure and improvisation, nor do they stagnate by rejecting all new [and legitimate] values.
