Define an organizational unit. Give it a unique name. Give it a list of
superiors and a list of subordinates.
government = {
'president' : { 'superiors' : [], 'subordinates' : ['jcs', 'cia', 'fbi',
'nsa', 'treasury', 'nasa' ..... ] },
'jcs' : { 'superiors': ['president', 'congress', 'senate', 'treasury'],
'subordinates' : ['army', 'navy', 'air force', 'jsoc'] },
'navy' : { 'superiors' : ['jcs', 'nsa', 'cia'], 'subordinates' :
['seals', 'marines', 'pacific fleet' ....] }, ........
}
The multiple parenting means that you need to use something as
references. You can't represent the hierarchy as a simple tree, because
in a simple tree a node only has one parent.
