[ExI] corruption

I've long thought that any system of government should be based on the
principle that bad actors will always arise, in any branch, so an
interlocking system of checks and balances needs to be used to prevent
them from doing too much harm. This means a non-heirarchical system,
with many feedback loops, so that no one individual or group is
ultimately in charge. A bit like how the brain works, really.
Basically, don't try to create a corruption-free system, just assume
that corruption is inevitable, and think about how it can be contolled
and eliminated wherever and whenever it arises.
