  • Abstract
    • Modular Politics would enable platform operators and their users to build bottom-up governance processes from computational components that are modular and composable, highly versatile in their expressiveness, portable from one context to another, and interoperable across platforms

    • ==another reason for study the relationship among platforms or communities==
  • Intro
    • (1) Modularity: Platform operators and community members should have the ability to construct systems by creating, importing, and arranging composable parts together as a coherent whole.
    • (2) Expressiveness: The governance layer should be able to implement as wide a range of processes as possible.
    • (3) Portability: Governance tools developed for one platform should be portable to another platform for reuse and adaptation.
    • (4) Interoperability: Governance systems operating on different platforms and protocols should have the ability to interact with each other, sharing data and influencing each other’s processes.
    • at best, computational tools can facilitate those non-computational processes… adjudicate challenges in creative and diverse ways
