Unicameralism and bicameralism have failed and are wrong! As per the sticky, I will not elaborate on this.
The policy of the well-willing future is Pentacameralism!
As practiced in the Discordian Society and its schisms, a healthy form of government (Eristocracy) holds indeed 5 houses!
Now you have unicameralism where the first and only house is the most important. You also have bicameralism where the second house is the most important.
Now with pentacameralism, the fifth house is the most important!
It is my firm belief that P.O.E.E. is dead (at least, its last ruling members are) and is in need of a major schism.
The POEE Disorganizational Matrix is defunct, Only the disunited episkoposes remain in charge of house V. It is my motion to this house to rebuild it.
We have five houses. We have to decide how members are appointed, elected and chosen.
How do we start figuring this mess out? Should we even? Mitosis is natural part of life, and even if were to go for multicellural organisation, it's more about loosely connecting the groups than having some overarching organisational structure. Let the future scientists figure out what's called what.

An overarching disorganisational structure doesn't necessarily imply unity. The Discordian Society is more of a confederation of cabals than anything else.
The council of Episkoposes should be the legislative body, though the criterium as for which cabal makes it into the council would be a topic of heated discussion.
Preferably Saints and Erisian Avatars remain a form of advisory organ.
The Keepers of the Sacred Chao should be considered a knight's order of sorts if not an intelligence agency.

Isn't the whole house together a legislative body?

Nah, that's the one we keep in the cellar under the sheets. It has began to rot btw, anybody got any idea what to do to the legislative corpse?

if there's room enough in the cellar, maybe mummification? waste not, want not, and whatnot.

What if we guarantee x amounts of seats for each part of the house?
Episkoposes would hold the majority, with a few custom-elected saints and avatars, and lastly a few appointed K.S.C. members.
That is if we agree that these elements should make up the house.

Bro you scared me with this "bicameralism" nonsense, I was afraid the rest of the post will be about how Homer had no self-consciousness.

I volunteer to make up with the house. It's kind of cute!

Kinda hard to guarantee X amount of seats when the council of episkoposes is literally made up of a dynamic number of delegates.

Implementing a B.Y.O.C. culture may be beneficial. Or we could just forget the chairs entirely and sit on the floor. Sitting pillows would also encourage pillow fights.

That'd make it less of a house and more of a talk club. Unless we implement voting in an arbitrary way, with one's 1 vote meaning more than the other's 1 vote.
There's no rules for this shit. Eristocracy isn't Democracy.

Winner of the pillow fight decides what drugs are served next.

There should be at least 5 elements
>5 houses!
that could lead to a lot of filibustering, which may or may not be a bad thing, but the sitting pillows are a good idea… idk, maybe the pillow fights could also be used to settle such procedural shenanigans?
I think the best part about the eristocracy is that it's near impossible to define. I'd love for it to be an unsolvable puzzle. That doesn't mean we shouldn't continue putting puzzle pieces together, or producing new puzzle pieces.

Even so, that Cabbage was right to make a disclaimer. It's like how you should say no homo after you give your bro a hug or like how you should say no pedo every time you give your niece a headpat. It's a common courtesy people often overlook.
