MARCUS AURELIUS
121–180
The Meditations (The Provisional Collective's Notebook)
Marcus wrote the Meditations to himself, in the second person, as a daily discipline of the imperial role. CoCA's internal documents — the binders, the minutes, the standing items — are written in the same register: to ourselves, in the second person, as discipline of the institutional role. The Stoic emperor is the operational model for the Founding Strategist. The notebook is the meeting.
