It suddenly occurs to me to wonder if Reynolds ever read Vinge's
Heaven Belt stories.
I'm pretty sure he did...hang on...yeah, a quick google of
"alastair reynolds joan vinge" turns up some stuff, including
the following item from
https://revelationspace.fandom.com/wiki/Demarchists" In the afterword of Galactic North, Alastair Reynolds comments that the Demarchists are not his own invention. He credits the Joan D. Vinge book The Outcasts of Heaven Belt as the inspiration for the Demarchist Society. "
