On Evocracy (Evolutionary Democracy)

Abstract: Evocracy (evolutionary democracy), a collective intelligence method for content-oriented decision-making on open-ended questions. In Evocracy, individually proposed solutions are systematically aggregated into a single joint decision. The approach is based on hierarchical re-grouping, where small groups integrate their proposals. Representatives of those groups carry the group proposal to the next level until only a single group with a final solution is left. The systematic reduction and integration process scales logarithmically, which enables content-oriented decision-making for large groups of people. It is also designed to work self-organized and permissionless.

Carlo will give an introduction to the Evocracy method, possible applications, and the current state of the project. Finally, Carlo will briefly touch on their broader vision of a web3 democracy. The main intention is to spread the idea and to collect inspirations and feedback on the decision-making method itself and the current strategy to make it happen.

The Metagovernance Seminar invites individuals working in online governance to present their work to a community of other researchers and practitioners. Topics of the seminar include, but are not limited to, computational tools for governance, governance incidents and case studies from online communities, topics in cryptoeconomics, and the design of digital constitutions.
