A STO SMC is more dynamic, and yes probably even fluid such as the temporary formation of sub-SMCs that form out of the individuals' intents, drawing information from past, present and future.
STS Society / Organization might be more of 'hierarchical' in nature.
Who is the "master" and who are the "slaves" must be clearly defined.
And it might be dynamic in nature, the "slaves" can perform a coup to become the new master.
And the master always in the state of 'fear' from the danger of a 'coup' / 'rebellion' from it slaves.
Entities can encounter each other to decide who will be the 'master' (superior) and who will be the 'slave' (inferior) (read: a fight / a battle) The hierarchy are multi-leveled, a master who exclusively owned slaves might have an upward slave relationship to it's master entity.
To me, it's not clear whether the 'slave' have access to all memory of 'master' or whether they 'share' memory at all. Secrecy is key on STS as everything is based on separation and manipulation. When a 'slave' knows everything that the 'master' know he/she can use that information to perform a coup against the master and become the new master.
Thus can it be categorized as "Social Memory Complex"?
When not every memory / knowledge is openly shared?
Session 47
for when a group of mind/body/spirits becomes able to form a social memory complex, all experience of each entity is available to the whole of the complex.
