How do those who consent to governance coexist with those who do not?
Consenting always has the upper hand over non-consent because it allows collaboration on specific initiatives that might not materially benefit all collaborators. I.E. they overpower the non-consenters. The intervention required scales with how broad the coverage of law is and how contrary to nature the laws are. For a authoritarian beauacracy you can't tolerate any dissent, so your population has to eat itself, for a permissive government dissenters can participate without falling afoul of the law as long as the law doesn't cover they cases where they dissent. But if they do not consent to governance in a way that runs contrary to law they will get locked up.
You can't just opt out. The only way that works is in a complete anarchy, which is an unstable situation. As soon as two people agree to government they will get the upper hand.
