That would be one central point, but I was including other components

It's what we've got, so it can't be that bad.

'Out of control' isn't always such a 'bad' thing. BTW, roads are also
centralist.
The system I was 'proposing' (yet another open network) doesn't really
have "negative feedback" only positive feedback. I don't see how this
can go 'out of control', since it has no specific place to go in the
first place.
