What defines power? Depends on your objective. What defines objective? Systems, which give rise to goals and meaning.
Systems create dynamics that drive adaptation, whether convergence or divergence; they create strong self-perpetuating institutional forms.
Power is essentially systemic. It is an advantage due to certain properties within a given system. This positional advantage is cashed out as power in various forms. Partial analysis is a useful heuristic but misleading if taken literally.
