| | It appears that he isn't defining anarchy by its essential characteristic, the lack of a claimed and generally enforced monopoly on the use of retalitory force (in short, a state). Of course, Rand wrote that states and gangs would inevitably and quickly reappear, making anarchism a floating abstraction. I disagree, but this isn't Dissent.
Polycentric law is usually used to mean that the law is not territorially based. It does not nessecarily imply anarchism. I think that the term is often used by utilitarian anarcho-capitalists, a la David Friedman, however. That could be where he got it.
