Both the typological restructuring and the occurrences excavation only bring to light the obscured structures of authority-institutional-effective governance. However, there is still a blind spot: the typological logic and occurrence mechanism of “authority-in-depth” seem to be difficult to find an exact correspondence in authority-institutional-effective governance. However, in the typological sense, the deepening effect produced by “movement-based governance” is always in fluctuation and does not settle into a stable order. Even if, according to Zhou Xueguang, the authority of the Christmases that drive the “movement” is conventionalized into the organizational facilities of the party system, this conventionalization and cascading often means the loss of the in-depth effect, i.e., “bureaucracy” and “formalism. “formalism”. The only way to regain the effect of penetration is to resort to the repeated empowerment of the “movement”. At the same time, the deep effect of “campaign governance” seems to be entirely driven by authoritative power configurations, without the space for “interstices” to emerge, in an occurrent sense.

The absence of the typology of “authoritative depth” means that Zhou does not believe that there is an authoritative configuration of power that can stably produce a deep order. In his view, the only stable order is the local spontaneous order represented by effective governance and the regularized hierarchical order represented by authoritative institutions. The stability of both orders presupposes a certain equilibrium cycle. Authoritarian institutions and effective governance, though occasionally in conflict, can still each be in their place, ensuring the independence of each other’s lowest line. Although they fluctuate periodically, the autonomy of the local order is not completely swallowed by the hierarchical organization, and the authority of the hierarchical organization is not completely subverted by the local order. This equilibrium cycle can be sustained because it is set in a closed field where there is no “gap” to accommodate the “emergence” of a new order. Zhou equates authoritative power allocation with a closed bureaucratic organization, and the penetrating effect of authoritative allocation is also closed within the organization, without any “gap” to accommodate the stabilization and order of the penetrating effect. In other words, it is the occurrent closure that leads to the absence of typology.
