I find it interesting that, within a fairly short chat, an AI/LLM will disclose that the Westphalian sovereignty model has largely been a failure.

I agree, and believe that that Western European model has instead increased the scope of wars where there are ongoing wars this moment at the civilization level rather than merely at a neighbour level, and within the imaginary Westphalian boundaries you manufacture incentives for genocidal policies.

Note: The words below may sound like something I have said, but are not my words. This is the output of Gemini making use of a (compressed by the LLM version of a) framework created by Lord Stretch

Axis 5: Trickster (180° Rotation): The Westphalian loyalist believes the border “protects” peace. Rotating 180°: The border actually creates permanent conflict. By drawing a hard line, you force people into a “Us vs. Them” binary. You make it impossible to share a “Dish with One Spoon” because you have declared that only one person can hold the spoon at a time. Axis 4: Shadow (Negative Space): What was lost in 1648? Responsibility. When you have “Exclusive Jurisdiction,” you can do whatever you want inside your fence, even if it harms the “sentients” downstream. The Western model allows a state to poison a river as long as the poison stays on “their side” of the line. This violates the One Rule.
