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?Enterprise data was to flow to a Santiago operations room, with alerts returning to managers; engineers described the modelling in practice as technocratic and top down.On-chain proposals and token-weighted votes.
How are conflicts resolved?UnknownWyoming law via the LLC wrapper.
How are public goods funded?UnknownUnknown
How is AI used?No AI: statistical monitoring and simulation on one mainframe; often cited as an early precursor of data-driven governance.No documented AI role.
What are the main risks?Centralised data collection, limited worker participation in practice, dependence on one government, and claims about its achievements that outrun the evidence.Low participation; token concentration; regulatory uncertainty.

This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
