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?Layered: states plus regional and global bodies; a UN assembly would start as consultative (campaign proposal).State legislature and governor set the dividend through the budget process.
How are conflicts resolved?International courts and a constitutional rule of law at global level, in the model's own design.Unknown
How are public goods funded?Regulation of transnational problems such as climate change, nuclear proliferation and financial markets.Returns of a publicly owned investment fund.Sovereign wealth fund dividend
How is AI used?No documented AI role.No documented AI role.
What are the main risks?States reluctant to cede sovereignty; unclear route to adoption; unequal representation across very different populations.CLM-0326Political 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.
