Despite XML's inherent leanings towards hierarchies within document structures, no standards have been established for creating hierarchies of element type declarations.
The OED (and Webster!) definitions are very odd - very alien.
Plenty of hits for heterarchy out there relating it to hierarchy in one form or another. It even has the honor of a page on Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterarchy
Great post - I found it searching for the antonym to meta... too bad you haven't figured out that one yet.
But there are a couple other concepts for what you're looking at. The first one is "semi-lattice"
It's a term from mathematics - a lattice is a graph structure where every point is connected to every other one. A hierarchy is where every point has - at most - one parent, but can have multiple children. In a semi-lattice, each point can have multiple parents as well, but isn't connected to everything.
An less rigorous way to approach it is to use the term "heterarchy", found in Frederick Turner's "A Culture of Hope" - a more philosophical look.

Sidekick: The Good News & the Bad News Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

AISO founders envisioned a Web hosting company that was environmentally friendly. While the company employed energy-efficient innovations like solar panels, its infrastructure produced unacceptable power and cooling requirements. Find out how AISO leveraged AMD technology to overcome their challenge in this case study white paper.
In this whitepaper, Scalar explores the opportunity to change the landscape with respect to mission critical databases
built around Oracle. Leveraging technologies such as Linux, high-end commodity processing power and Oracle RAC
technology to architect, design, build and maintain database infrastructure that delivers maximum availability, reliability
and performance at a fraction of traditional cost.
On a typical day, weather.com, the Web site for The Weather Channel in Atlanta, serves up between 15 million and 20 million page views. But in September 2004, when back-to-back hurricanes ransacked Florida, the peak traffic on one day more than tripled: over 70 million page views by more than 7 million unique visitors. Read the full success story now.

Cholarchy isn't in the
Cholarchy isn't in the OED.Someone elsewhere claims that the opposite of hierarchy is 'heterarchy', but the OED says that this is "the rule of an alien".
Mostly, i'm wondering about the opposite of meta. And it's no idle pondering - i've got a variable to name!
