|Formulation File=Non-Hierarchical Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017).png

|Description=Non-hierarchical authority delegation is a sub-type of multiple authority delegation. It describes a situation in which a community delegates authority over some topic to multiple communities, and treat each community as being at the same level of authority. Consider a case of multiple authority delegation in which either expert A OR expert B might be consulted. If the word of expert A is valued as equally as the word of expert B, we have a case of non-hierarchical authority delegation.

At the moment, non-hierarchical authority delegation is only a theoretical possibility. No historical examples have been found.
