**Through:** A party turns many members' reach into one bid for power by asking each to set its own walls where the party sets them; the discipline that makes it strong is the same that makes a member's own reading costly to act on.

**Novel properties:**
- many reaches pooled into one
- walls members set on themselves for the group
