Along those lines, I suspect the holocracy term is meant at the level of guiding political / economic philosophy from which one then works to construct specific legal structures to implement the idea in specific contexts with various other names.
my friends/sources at theselc.org say that, yes, a worker cooperative by any other name (t-corp, wsde, zimzam, hoosegow) would smell as sweet

Or how Richard Wolff tried to rename it too as WSDEs with the Democracy at Work project. But it really sounds like workers cooperative to me.

Those who have expressed interest in a co-operative model of
organizational development would be interested in Holacracy, which
Janelle Orsi of the Sustainable Economies Law Center, promotes in her
lectures. From today's blog post about a new Holacracy 'app':
In a typical top-down management structure, the power to hire andof authority [1], the separation of people and role [2], and the
fire employees is generally in the hands of managers. With Holacracy
at play, the game is entirely different: with the decentralization
dynamic evolution of those roles [3], we end up with a situation
that looks more like free agents going about their work with no
central planning. There might not even be a single person who knows
about everything you do. This then begs the question: who can decide
how and when to hire or fire?
Holacracy doesn’t answer that question; it simply gives you a
framework and processes for your company to figure it out. In other
words, if Holacracy is an “operating system” for organizations,
the “hire-and-fire” function is an “app” that needs to be
added separately.
The Holacracy newsletter forwarded below also includes a link to the
Dec. 3 workshop ($125) they'll be hosting in San Francisco.
Happy Halloween Friend!
If you follow us on social [4] channels [5], you might already know
that HolacracyOne just released a new "Partnership App" [6], and_how _to decide, but it doesn't tell you _what_ you should decide
it's freely available.
What do we mean by "app"? It extends the metaphor of Holacracy as an
“operating system” for organizations. I like this comparison
because it accurately reflects what Holacracy is, as well as what it
isn't. On a computer, the operating system provides a basic
framework for “apps” to function harmoniously in the same
environment. Similarly, Holacracy provides a basic framework forblog post [7]!
for your business. In other words, it doesn’t answer typical
business questions such as “what’s our employee compensation
system?”, or “how to allocate resources?”.
There are many different ways of answering these questions and
Holacracy doesn’t choose one for you — that's the domain of
"apps". At HolacracyOne, we've adopted a new "app" to define how our
partnership functions work, and although it is still experimental,
it's fleshed out enough to share it with you. Check it out in our

The question was: “How can we account for the difference between
partners deeply committed to the organization, and those for whom
the commitment is lesser and more temporary?”
