Absence of rulers not the absence of rules. Anarchy is the opposite of Hierarchy.
The rules are simply mutually agreed upon arrangements between independent entities, with no one singular entity being able to exert controlling authority over any other.
There is plenty of literature about what Anarchy is as a political system. There are even different subsets of organizational structures, such as syndicalism, but they are all based upon a horizontal structure of authority where power is derived from the bottom up rather than from the top down.
I have always thought of “anarchy” as “the people organize themselves and shape their own community”.
It means the absence of outside rulers. There can still be rules internally.
