	Like any ideology, Cylon ideology contains many paradoxical inclinations. The process by which a group of Cylons (for example, the leaders of the occupational force on [[New Caprica]], or the individuals who collectively command [[basestar]]s) make decisions is democratic and egalitarian. Consensus is always preferable to even a minority dissent. This egalitarianism seems to apply to the Cylons' social life, with some notable exceptions, most primarily the "[[heroes of the Cylon]]" - according to Three the Cylons never had celebrities until Boomer and Caprica-Six {{TRS\|Downloaded}} - and also by the force of personality (known in anthropological circles as charismatic authority) which certain individuals of different models seem to possess over the other copies in their series. This is displayed at one time or another by any individual Cylon.		Like any ideology, Cylon ideology contains many paradoxical inclinations.

This is displayed at one time or another by any individual Cylon.

	Anthropologically, charismatic authority is consistent with an egalitarian ethos. However, the egalitarianism of the humanoid Cylons does not apply to the other types of Cylons at their disposal; not even to the sentient, but seemingly insane, [[hybrid]]s, nor to the semi-sentient animalistic [[Cylon Raider (RDM)\|Raiders]], and certainly not to the [[Cylon Centurion\|Centurions]], which are not sentient. According to ~~[[Sharon Agathon]]~~, the limited cognitive abilities of the newer Centurions are a safety precaution, designed to prevent a machine revolution among the Cylons themselves which could lead to civil war {{TRS\|Precipice}}.

	Although Cylon military technology is exotic and partially biological in nature, the Cylons also make use of technology likely of Cylon manufacture, but of more Colonial design. This includes [[Weapons in the Re-imagined Series\|weapons technology]] (projectile weapons, conventional and nuclear warheads, and cybernetic weapons) as well as medical technology, as seen in the "[[farms]]" of Caprica and in the hospital on [[New Caprica]], which included Colonial-style computers and medical equipment, in stark contrast to the exotic interfaces seen aboard the baseships. This is logical, since the Cylons are of Colonial origin, and while their technology diverged from that in certain areas - mainly cybernetics and bio-technology - its basics are human.
