Would one consider an "executive", "legislative", and "judicial" branch centralized?

What if each node switched between these "roles" where:

How do you force a node to switch roles?  How do you know if a node has switched?

- legislative defines, without influence, from which sources in the "executive" branch work is accepted from

You still haven't come up with a reliable way to define a "source".

- executive does work, and only sources from which work was selected to be submitted will be sent to the "judicial" branch for review in a "pre-valid block"

Won't everyone just run an "executive" node, since that is the only node submitting work?

- Judicial branch ensures that no double spends are contained in the block etc. and then broadcasts the block
**all branches have some "judicial" power to ensure judicial branch isnt compromised

if one of these branches defects, aka 33%, then the other two branches, 66%, will further divide into 3 branches again

if two branches defect, since all branches have some judicial review, then 33%, or 1 branch, will divide into the 3 branches again, etc.

What mechanism is used to determine if a branch has defected?  How do you force any individual node to divide into another role?
