Oh, I dunno- my experience is that in "reality" almost every group of folks I have worked with, from software teams to stage hands to bands has (when functioning well) been more or less organized around those kinds of ideas.

It may sound hyperbolic to say that "anarchism is the default way humans work together". At the same every production I have worked in may have a boss, but at the same time usually the folks actually doing the work are getting along with very little direct hierarchy- people who know what to do go do it, folks who don't get tasked with doing things.

Most folks have watched stuff really get into the weeds when every action needs to be dictated from above.

Teams selecting someone to speak for them is voters selecting a representative. Different representatives for different committees isn't unusual. A rotating representative is similar to a rotating president or sortition.

It is common in universities in at least some parts of the world for the dean(s) of departments to rotate among the faculty.

That seems to align somewhat with those ideas.
