I find it impossible to know if there is anything of value in there. On the surface it looks like a set of weird ideas clothed in intentionally (as you say) obscurant terminology.

As for decentralisation, can a system that appears to be so explicitly bound in hierarchy actually be said to be decentralised? Certainly it seems to be a distributed system, but AFAICT the actual power in the system is entirely centralised, though delegated through various layers. Maybe I'm just not reading it right, which would be their intention I guess...
