These entities are hive-like. They tend to exist in an entirely man-made world. Corporations are really paper straw-man, golem entities. They have a corporeal existence in buildings and other infrastructure. The people who promote the corporate way constantly focus on "efficiency", but if you've ever worked in corporate world, you see endless inefficiency. The corporate entity itself is hugely parasitic, and it's an extension of the government and financial system, which are 100% parasitic entities. "Efficiency" is really some kind of strange code-word in the context of the corporate landscape.
The hive-like, insectoid aspect of the corporate world is a widespread observation, and is depicted in many movies and TV shows. For example, in the "new" Battlestar Galactica, the cylons are shown to have a weird living, insect-like infrastructure. For example the resurrection ships look insect like.
The "pyramid" system is an alien import into this world. The irony of it, is it's dominant, but it's parasitic and super wasteful.
A forest is a contrasting "system", really a non-system. A forest has no top down organizational pattern, but is still a unified whole. Each creature and plant living in the forest is simultaneously independent, and a contributor to the unified whole. It's an example of pure efficiency and no overhead/parasitism.
It's a good question why the pyramid/parasite system is so dominant in the human world.
