Externatus follows in the footsteps of those described by Louis Dumont. Homo Hierarchicus was the Sapiens of an agricultural world in which wealth, tied to land, was monopolized by a small group of lords who upheld a hierarchical society in the name of God. Homo Aequalis was the Sapiens of modernity, defined by movable wealth and exchange, where value was created in a society with open competition for positions. Externatus is the legitimate heir of Aequalis, as the digital revolution crystallizes five long-standing transformations within Western modernity. The first is the development of vast external resources beyond the individual. The second is the mathematization of the world—a hallmark of Aequalis—when science took the lead in managing commerce and public affairs. The third is proceduralization, especially legal proceduralization: the creation of norms for managing the use of external resources, which would later form the basis for our algorithmization. The fourth is individualization, the core demand of Aequalis. The fifth is deinstitutionalization, that is, the radical extension of individualization which seeks to remove barriers to direct access to resources. However, a key distinction between Aequalis and Externatus lies in the shift from logos to arithmos.
