The Governance Stress Test 002

Can localized governance entities maintain autonomy while cooperating with larger systems?

“The success of collective action often depends on the ability of local actors to cooperate and coordinate without losing their independence.”
—Elinor Ostrom

“Decentralized communities must remain vibrant and self-sustaining while engaging with larger structures.”
—Murray Bookchin

The Governance Stress Test 001

Does the system support polycentric governance, allowing multiple independent decision-making centers?

“A polycentric system is one where many centers of decision-making that are formally independent also interact with each other in an orderly fashion.”
—Elinor Ostrom

does anybody on here have any experience with #polycentric? by futo? is it sensible for a non techy?

Polycentric Governance tends to Outperform Traditional Capitalist Governance.

My views alt socials rn:

Mastodon/fediverse: old school internet vibes, numbers matter less

Bluesky/Atprotocol: More modern interesting modularity, services imploding isn't a good look though

Futo's Polycentric: wow... I might as well be on X/Twitter this is somehow worse.

I want a #polycentric type system in my #programming language.

That is, I want the data structures to project back and forth between multiple type hierarchies.

As a result,
• One type system won't have to serve all purposes.
• Smaller, specific models can reuse terminology (not by include nor dependency).
• DSLs would be easier to write.
• Some services won't have to be broken out into separate code bases.
• All hope for perfection may finally be abandoned.

@Cat_LeFey This is why I like the #Polycentric #Polytheism model of Butler, it transcends the soft and hard versions of polytheism and negates them, to my mind at least.

Amazonian Polytheisms and Animism (Excerpt by Dr. Edward Butler)

"In South America we find many and diverse indigenous traditions, as well as traditions from the African Diaspora, which we will discuss separately. In the native traditions there is a sharp ecological and social difference between the forest dwelling, stateless peoples of the Amazon, represented in the reading for this unit by works of Yanomami theology, some collected by anthropologists and some authored by Davi Kopenawa, a spiritworker and advocate for his people and for the forest, and on the other hand, the Andean cultures of the mountains and seashore, which goes back as far as 3200 BCE, in which can be discerned a series of cultural phases, the latest of which being the empire of the Inca. The distinction between ‘stateless’ and ‘state’ societies, while of heuristic value, should not be taken to imply a lesser degree of ‘development’ or complexity in the former than the latter. In reality, all societies, having all lived through the same span of time, probably exhibit the same degree of ‘development’, albeit in different directions."

@rien The concept of #Polycentric is very interesting for this: cryptographic identities; you set up a list of servers to publish to, and they can choose which posts they pass on to their subscribers ("recommend"). This platform is still PoC quality though.

@Em @AimeeMaroux As Euripides has Herakles say in the eponymous play.

**"Nor can I ever believe that one God is the lord of another.

A God, if he is a real God, is in need of nothing."**

Which works well with a #polycentric framework of #polytheism, I'd say.

Sovereignty of the Gods is shared amongst what #Proclus calls the totality of the divine set (pas ... theios arithmos), a manifold of Gods that are prior to Being where each God contains all of being.

@notittybimbo @darlingofishtar

#Polycentric is a term that's being used more these days, as 19th-century terms like monolatry and henotheism don't fit actual practices.
