Zoku (族) is a Sino-Japanese term meaning tribe, clan, or family. (via Wikipedia)
As a suffix it has been used extensively within Japan to define subcultural phenomena, though many zoku do not acquire the suffix (e.g. cosplay).

- Anyone can start a Zoku.
- A Zoku can be for something small, fun or materially important.
- A person may be a member of many Zoku.
- Each Zoku has members.
- The member(s) who create a Zoku are founders.
- Each member has a level, starting at 1.
- Each member has a volition cone.
- A volition cone is the level of priority and influence on goal setting.
- A volition cone is determined based on a members level (entanglement).
- The larger the Zoku the greater the volition cone applied to members vs. other Zoku.
- Members gain levels by gaining entanglement.
- The highest level achievable is an elder.
- Any members can create a goal.
- Goal setters decide if a goal was successful, sort-of successful, failed, etc.
- When a member contributes to a goal they are rewarded with entanglement.
- Entanglement rewarded is determined by the success of the goal itself.
A Zoku will cause behavior of members to gravitate toward Zoku goals over time through rewarding support of the Zoku versus themselves.
