I've thought about a structure like this for a long time. And I independently came up with most of the same ideas as they did. One additional thing I've also thought would be cool would be to have the implementation of a liquid democracy system itself under control by this same system. So you could use it to vote on pull requests and bug fixes and other things like that. I think this step would be necessary for real government because the code that was responsible for this system would in effect be part of the laws of the country.

yeah exactly what I've though about... a nomic code base :)

Liquid democracy is just computer-assisted delegate democracy. And delegate democracy has been around since the Paris Commune.

Oh I didn't know that ...I guess that is what you get when you think about things without studying them first. Those ideas are probably latent in lots of things I've read which is why I picked up on them so easily
