This article seeks to explore and extend the broader coordinates of the formalist turn within International Security Studies. While the paradigmatic shift towards hybrid security is a welcome upgrade and a much-needed counterweight to what has been a deep-rooted tradition of functionalist and teleological scholarship, the study of hybrid security orders continues to leave many more issues unexplored, especially in relation to the in-between spaces that emerge in articulated structural systems. The article shows that by examining the politics of spatial by-products of formal co-development, explored through the conceptual prisms of evolutionary biology and spherology, and the broader dynamics of urban security we may not only develop a better grasp of the self-organising and informal efforts of local actors to construct their own self-contained lifeworlds and peaceworlds, but also strike a more fruitful balance between formal and functional analysis.

本文试图探索和扩展国际安全研究中形式主义转向的更广泛的坐标。虽然向混合安全的范式转变是一个受欢迎的升级和急需的平衡功能主义和目的论研究的根深蒂固的传统，但混合安全秩序的研究继续留下许多未探索的问题，特别是与铰接结构系统中出现的中间空间。文章表明，通过研究正式共同发展的空间副产品的政治，通过进化生物学和球形学的概念棱镜进行探索，
