HEI and HNI are excellent terms. I'm currently drafting an article discussing Paul Kingsnorth's conception of The Machine and relating this to Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy (trying to think through the possible contradictions I hold in both sympathising with the idea of The Machine and wanting the exploration of Mars). As per your article an HEI could be benign but I think it fits into the category of The Machine. HNI would probably not be 'Machine'.

Sounds like a GHP is a special case of the HNI, and those of us without the skill or resources to set up a GHP should instead focus on joining or otherwise assisting HNIs. Is that about right?
