@slothrop It's confusing and in general, people don't do it. What people tend to speak about *is* a power dynamic spectrum.

Baran was dealing with the situation where the term was being used in a specific technical way *at the time he wrote the document*, so he had to introduce another term.

When *most people* today talk about decentralization, they mean the spectrum. We *at least* have to be clear about definitions if you mean something else.
