The Global Challenge 
: the Prize.
Reliable Collective Decisions: Thoughts and Decisions between Ward and Walter about how Federated Wiki can solve the Global Challenge.
To test the various implementations of our federated democracy, we will employ a concept elucidated in the Miller-Rabin Primality Test. Because we will not be able to thoroughly check the success of our federated democracy at all 7 billion points, we will check randomly for feelings of representation at the lowest levels.
David Bovill's Liquid Democracy
Until we have Infinite Energy, we cannot have world peace.
We need to develop a global identity that does not threaten our local one. This is Federated Wiki.
Main concern of foundation appears to be Climate Change (need to rely on this and make them aware of dangers of AI). If every public corporation supported the Paris Accord, would there be any threat of non-cooperation by the US govt? Preclude free-riders from benefit.
Strict law on child education that requires one class from UN2.0, where they learn about other communities in the world, and contact info for a representative for opt-out request.
Develop a formula to bridge the gap between opposing interests by developing incentive structures that increase the rationality of collectively beneficial choices.
Framework is meant to be deployed regionally for the quick spread of federal democracy. Only when infinite energy (or interim economic success) is found can it be deployed globally.
The league of nations and the UN set out to create a community of likeminded nations, cooperating fully with each other and settling their differences under law.
The most extreme form of violence against humanity is WMD (countered by MAD) and AI (countered only by global cooperation).
States are jealously sovereign
How to fund a global government? What levels can tax and spend?
128 a good start? What about 150? Should the higher federated groups be smaller?
Grand designs have rarely delivered what they promised because, when it comes to human behavior, it is impossible to start from a blank slate. Humans are social creatures that follow the rules of the game they know. Cite Pistor
Institutions are meant to coordinate the expectations of the many, not the few - and unless first-movers can be assured that others will follow, they will not make the leap. Cite Pistor
Change Institutions establish the rules of the game, but they do so with a twist. they do not seek to determine behavioral outcomes, but are process oriented. They set forth who should participate, what counts as a decision, and the procedures that shall be followed for implementing the decisions that have been taken. Change institutions are most effective within existing rules of the game. They do not openly challenge existing norms and they piggy back on available enforcement mechanisms. By changing access and participation rules, they can change (or subvert) the system from within. Cite Pistor (who thinks that we must infiltrate the existing rules of the game, not to invent a new scheme from scratch).
The most profitable choice for an individual does not always produce the best outcome for a community. Cite Jeong. You need certainty regarding the behavior of others.
Where to start? With corporations (problem of one person - one vote), towns, cities, states, small countries. How to institute government as sovereign from the individual as sovereign. Problems of geography. People want to feel represented with the right to exit. See here .
