How each model solves the same problems
Instead of “democracy versus anarchism”, compare the concrete ways collective problems get solved.
| Question | + Model | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| How are decisions made? | Randomly selected citizens studied, held hearings and voted on a recommendation; the public then voted in a referendum with supermajority thresholds.Sortition / citizens' assembly | State legislature and governor set the dividend through the budget process. | |
| How are conflicts resolved? | Neutral chair, plenary votes among members, and a referendum as final arbiter. | Unknown | |
| How are public goods funded? | Publicly funded independent assembly and secretariat, disbanded after its report. | Returns of a publicly owned investment fund.Sovereign wealth fund dividend | |
| How is AI used? | No AI role. | No documented AI role. | |
| What are the main risks? | Voters not sharing the assembly's learning; high referendum thresholds; no map of how the system would work in practice.CLM-0067 | Political pressure to use fund earnings for the state budget instead of dividends. |
This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
