So I have been re-vamping old DCP articles (such as DCP/Society), and I decided it would be a good idea to explain what the DCP's philosophy of order is, which has never actually been specified.

I need help here, I no longer just want it to be about "Galactic lawfulness" or similar (although the DCP's lawful morality is not changing), how boring. I want it to be a different to Western or Globalised ideas of political order, something more alien, but perhaps not truly alien. I also think that the Order has the negative connotation of stagnation attached. While you could argue the DCP's government and maybe morality is stagnated, the rest of the DCP certainly is not and I don't think the DCP would prize itself with stagnation! So anything like that won't do here.

The first idea I have had so far are universals. Basically, the DCP has potentially hundreds of members, each a different species with their own biology, languages and culture. It is a wonder really how any galactic civilisation this diverse could maintain any goals or super-culture. Again, we are not even talking about truly alien life or communication here (but the DCP might have some!), but just look at how diverse Earthly culture is. However, despite all these differences in the psychology of aliens, I believe there must be some kind of universal knowledge (I can explain why I think so if wanted). Could DCP's 'Order' be based on establishing some kind of harmonising ideology, breaching the high level barriers of alien mentality by being much simpler, or by creating an open ended meta-philosophy that attempts to swallow everything. That might create contradictions, but this is an alien thought-process after-all, it does not have to be consistent (as Western philosophy would yearn for, that being said its not all that alien, as Eastern philosophy revels in it) especially as it will never be completed giving room for progress.

I'd like to hear more ideas, they don't have to be like my first one above.
