One theory is that [[neutral point of view]] is really a [[systemic bias]] (in [[large public wiki]]s, an [[editorial bias]]).  This is resisted by a [[New Troll point of view]] that refers to it as [[groupthink]] or just [[bogus]] or a product of [[individual bias]]es.

As [[Trolls]] gain rights and force [[sysop power structure]] to adhere to some [[social contract]], a '''two-party system''' develops.  Formal [[faction]]s in and out of these two parties jockey for control of the [[consensus]] and the [[dissensus]].  Eventually, a true [[multiple point of view]] system evolves.
If a wiki is [[troll-friendly]], the [[trolls]] will gain rights and this forces [[sysop power structure]] to adhere to some [[social contract]] - the [[dissensus]] has status alongside the [[consensus]], though there is only one of each. 
 
From these roots a '''two-party system''' develops.  Formal [[faction]]s in and out of these two parties jockey for control of the [[consensus]] and the [[dissensus]] within each party.  Eventually, when the [[factionally defined]] terms are clear and distinct from the core [[glossary]], a true [[multiple point of view]] system evolves, and a [[trusted bureaucracy]] implements the demands of the ruling party - which only rules for some fixed period of time.


By this theory, [[Wikinfo]] is a more advanced [[Wikipedia]], which under this theory is quite early in its evolution.
