A starting point for discussion
The idea
The proposed system should adapt to legitimate improvements and defend its rules and institutions against one actor taking control for its own interests or manipulating them. It should also have independent checks that can block action or prompt correction. Whether these checks should be done by people, artificial intelligence (computer systems that perform tasks often linked to human intelligence), or both remains undecided.
What this means and why it matters
What this means
The proposal wants a system that can improve without becoming easy for one person or group to control.
Why it matters
The same checks that prevent misuse could also stop action or change. The proposal does not resolve this tension.
Conditions & assumptions
Allowing improvements and preventing someone from taking control of the system or manipulating it can conflict. The people or systems that check it also need limits. They should not gain unchecked power or be able to halt government indefinitely.
