Questions & Answers about Matrix-8
Glossary
Democrity – A style of Governance enjoyed by a population that uses Democratic Processes to reach Accords, but without the use of concomitant Enforcement.
Real-time Democrity – Analogous to the Democrity enjoyed by Band Societies making decisions around a council fire, or the Direct Democracy of early Puritan Colonists making decisions in a Town Meeting – Real-time Democrity describes the continual deliberative processes provided by a MultiLevel Governance (defined below) Internet Platform. Unlike Direct Democracy, it is not limited in the number of Participants, their proximity, nor is it hampered by scheduling constraints.
MultiLevel Governance (MLG) – The formulation of a substitute for traditional Government, providing the efficiencies of Real-time Democrity (Democracy without the Force). (See https://www.mlgov.org/)
The Matrix-8 Platform – The Internet-based program that allows millions to efficiently Participate, Deliberate, and reach Accords, in real time. It is the engine of Democrity.
8-PAC – In MLG, people associate in groups of 8. An 8-PAC is an acronym for 8 People in Active Communication.
CauseFunding – CauseFunding is the apotheosis of Crowdfunding. It elevates Causes in society beyond the controlling reach of single Individuals or Corporations. It is the amalgamation of Social Networking and Crowdfunding platforms. Utilizing MLG and its 8-PAC’s, it is the Internet-based engine to revitalize the Democratic Process in the New Age, and return Societal Power to the People. (See www.GoIDCSA.com)

Read on for Q & A's
Feel free to also ask Questions in the comments below.
- Q. Can you explain Matrix 8, in short words?
- Q. If accounts are anonymous, what is to stop me creating 1 billion accounts?
- Q. What is Trusted Reputation?
- Q. Can you please explain more the need for anonymity?
- A. Click to read Anonymity in Matrix-8 which answers this question very well.
- Q. Must it be based on democracy rather than consensus, and if so, why?
- A. Thank you for your question. It highlights what may be very difficult for most people to understand the first time they hit the concept of Democrity. Early on, as I was developing this system in my own mind – I realized that what I was proposing did not have a word which adequately expressed it. In trying to describe the type of Governance which would result from using the Matrix-8 Platform, I was forced to coin a new word: Democrity. As I defined it above, it is the result of using Democratic Processes to reach Accords – but without the concomitant use of Force. This is to contrast it with Democracy. And as benevolent as Democracy is in relation to all other governmental styles, it is still a top-down, Force-driven Government. I believe that with the potential of the Internet, Government is an outdated style of Governance.
- So in direct answer to your question: MultiLevel Governance is not based on Democracy – because Democracy includes Force. In contrast to Democracy, MultiLevel Governance is a consensus-based system without the Force. MultiLevel Governance creates Democrity. - John Huckel
- Q. What would Matrix-8's practical applications be? As in, what will it be used to govern?
- A. Can be anything, from say a playgroup with parents, teachers (and even children) in the 8pacs, to come to democriatic accords on how to run the playgroup, up to the whole wide world, for worldwide disarmament and distribution of food, for example. There's a little story about a school classroom using it here: https://www.mlgov.org/valories-kids AL.
- Q. How are Votes Counted to Reach an Accord? and How are Business Plans Funded?
- Q. How does Real Time Democrity work practically?
- A. In Matrix-8 there are many multiples of groups of eight who meet to discuss, deliberate and come to an actionable accord. Then each group elects (temporarily) a delegate to meet with seven other delegates from seven other groups. Then one group of eight elected delegates meet to discuss, deliberate and come to one concentrated accord based on the accords from the eight groups. And it's dynamic, real time. So while the eight delegates are meeting and discussing, the eight groups from which they are delegated, are also meeting, listening in to the delegates meeting, a secretary sending text messages to their delegate if needed (even un-delegating and replacing him/her during the meeting if he/she is not in integrity and speaks with forked tongue). Based on hearing the discussion in the delegates group meeting, and therefore hearing the accords from the other seven groups, a group can, in real time amend their accord (perhaps to align with one they have just heard from one of the other seven groups delegates) and send a text to their own delegate informing him of the change of their accord. In this way, all 64 people involved are having real time input and affect on the final concentrated accord.
What I've described here is just two levels. The matrix aspect of this system can continue to expand – the whole population of the Earth can be in communication within only 11 levels.

I appreciate your efforts to restructure governance, because what we have now is sure not working, evidenced by the recent complete shutdown of all lives in many parts of the world. Hopefully MKG and Matrix-8 will bring the ability to think back to human intellects, whether they Be/Do/or Have.
So to come up with a question is going to require that I spend far more than the twenty minutes I just spent trying to understand this. I'll come back to it, at least I hope I will because it sounds very intriguing. I like that there would be no enforcement, no need for enforcement I gather, now that I am afraid I will be stopped by the police if I drive over to a friend's house. I tried to go to matrix 8 blog but didn't see anything that would help me to better understand what that is, and I read a couple of the entries in their lofty entirety.
I appreciate you @owasco. It can take quite some time to understand how Matrix-8 works and how, for what purposes it can be used. It can take a lot of studying to get to real-eyes it's potential.
I am therefore preparing a challenge to study and share it. There will be prizes and other rewards. Here is a preview: https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@atma.love/re-jasonliberty-q80ts2

Aloha @atma.love!
your idea is very inspiring for my project Protopolis! I will take my time to have a look at the MLG system on the page you linked to, as well as the page www.goIDCSA.com
Concerning governance and decentralization I also recommend you these sites:
https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Torus_Governance_Network
https://p2pfoundation.net/
https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Introduction_to_the_P2P_Foundation_Wiki_Material_about_Governance
It is exactly such people like you that I need for my think tanks on the respective topics, which I will list in detail in a post soon, for the foundation of Protopolis.
The return of social power to the people is exactly what we have to work on now, to prevent Brave New World or 1984 from becoming reality.
What Protoplis is about I have briefly touched on in my first two posts if you want to know more about it.
Aloha @fago. Thanks for your comments and interest. I will read your first two posts. Please mention me in your upcoming post so i don't miss it.
May Peace be with you
Atma
:)
this matrix-8 is it a project on hive platform
@pepeye, that is the intention, yes. We are seeking developers to code a DApp to be built on the Hive blockchain.
Than you for your interest. Please feel free to ask any questions you have, and to ReHive this and any other posts you feel helpful to others and will help support the project by bringing more attention to the Matrix-8 Platform.
Namaste
Can you explain (or give a link) what a Super company is please
