Preliminary Outlines of Integrated Adaptive Consensus

There has been a distinct break in content for the better part of a year, but not without reason. I have been fortunate enough to have been sheltered amongst a few spiritual communities for the bulk of the lockdown period. In this time I have experienced and become intrigued by the backend complexities involved in building robust, but open and egalitarian community-driven decision systems and the difficulties wrapped up in the social dynamics therein. The predominant insight that emerged was that non-democratic consensus-based systems are biased, paradoxical, and do not scale easily, which is but a mere reflection of the inadequacies present in human minds. I set about devising a paper and a theoretical protocol to attempt to harmonise the best aspects of democratic and pure consensus systems which you can read below. I will emphasize that this is purely speculative and experimental at this stage, although I do intuit that there is something valuable to be gleaned here if only as a pivot point in thought for interested readers.
