In Your Society

Automated Direct Democracy

A Triune Democracy is an automated direct democracy. You bring the change you want to see. The system processes proposals to ensure they are reasonable, right, conscionable, and balanced. The automated nature of the system and procedural guarantee of the quality of proposals mitigates the incessant need to vote on every single issue in a typical direct democracy.

Leadership is obtained from the people who may make proposals if they are qualified. Leadership is also obtained from a unified Council and occasionally a Paragon.

Triune Self

A Triune Democracy is modelled after a Triune Self. You are a Triune Self. It is your internal operation -- your soul. You have a process that facilitates proper thinking and adaptation in your being. A Triune Democracy scales that process up to the civilizational level so that the society may think in aggregate and reason its way through time. As this system reflects your own internal operation, it is hoped that it will one day inspire and uplift the people just by them watching its operation.

The system looks complicated, but if you know how you work, it is actually pretty simple. It is just the loop of the thought process scaled up.

Respect

Triune Democracies are built around respect. You operate in a certain way. The corruption of that way causes damage to your being which manifests as psychological and mental health issues as well as corrupted thinking. Self-respect are actions you take to prevent damage to your being; to keep your self in proper working order. The proper practice of self-respect prevents psychological and mental disorders and also prevents corruption to your being and thus your thinking and this is why you never, ever allow anything to breach your boundaries.

Scaled up, the practices of self-respect, morality, and honour, encoded in the Triune Democratic way of running a society, ensure that the society itself never becomes corrupted and damaged. This in turn leads to a way of leadership that does not cause harm.

Procedure

Bring a proposal to the Office of Priorities.
The Office of Priorities procecsses and prioritizes the proposal.
- It may triage or invoke debates, presentations, trials, or other prioritization schemes as needed.
- Some proposals may warrant local or national referendums and those are carried out by this Office.
- Accepted proposals are passed to the Office of Reason in priority order.
The Office of Reason receives a proposal and tries to answer the question "Is it reasonable?"
- It considers input from the Office of Priorities.
- It analyzes the proposal for reasonableness, motive, and balance.
- The proposal is indexed against a knowledge base of thoughts, aligned with universal law, and converted to legislative language (or code) if applicable.
- The analysis is attached to the proposal and it is passed to the Office of Rightness.
The Office of Rightness receives a proposal from the Office of Reason and tries to answer the question "Will it cause harm?"
- It considers harm to the people, harm to the environment, harm to treaty agreements, harm to the nation, and any other type of harm potential.
- Where harm cannot be determined, it will simulate the proposal in a controlled environment to determine the answer.
- The analysis is attached to the proposal and it proceeds to the Office of Feeling, Sensing, Perception, and Data.
The Office of Feeling, Sensing, Perception, and Data receives proposals from the Office of Rightness and tries to support the question "How does it work?"
- It gathers as much data as possible related to the proposal from its many sources and attaches it to the proposal.
- It performs rudimentary tests on the proposal to see how it performs.
- It tries to determine hidden unmet needs or other considerations from the proposal.
- Data from all analyses attached to the proposal are added to its knowledge base.
- Where the proposal requires additional data, this Office may seek it out from the environment, allies, or the people.
- Processed proposals are passed to the Office of Priorities.
The proposal returns to the Office of Priorities.
- If the proposal is mature, it is submitted to the Council of Witness.
- If the proposal is not yet mature, it is re-prioritized and submitted to the Office of Reason again.
- If the Office of Rightness found harm in the propsal or if the Office of Conscience found it to be unconscionable, it is sent back to the issuer to be modified or is rejected.
The Council of Witness reviews mature proposals.
- It provides a final approval, veto, and balancing of the proposal.
- If a further balancing is required, a note will be attached to the proposal and it will be returned to the Office of Priorities.
- Approvals require a unified council vote.
- Vetos require only one vote.
- Approved proposals are sent to the Office of Manifestation for implementation.
The Office of Manifestation implements approved proposals.
- It uses a reality-organizing system consisting of realms and the thought of above-below to properly categorize and consider the requirements, consequences, and physics of implementation.
- It is optimized for infrastructure, but can also do legislation.
- The office issues Requests for Proposals or hires contractors or businesses directly.
- This office is also responsible for bringing Triune Democracy to the local level.

Supporting Offices

The Office of Realization intercepts proposals from the Office of Priorities and analyzes them for historical mistakes. It tries to answer the question "Are we repeating history?"
- It analyzes history for similar proposals as well as future trends to determine if this proposal would steer society down a similar path.
- It prepares a possibility analyses of likely outcomes and attaches it to the proposal.
- Outcomes where history repeats are indicated with a warning.
- The processed proposal is passed along to the Office of Reason.
The Office of Conscience intercepts proposals from the Office of Rightness and tries to answer the question "Is it conscionable?"
- It provides an important backup function to guarantee the rightness of any particular proposal.
- It further helps the nation avoid trespasses and unconscionable actions against its people or against other people; it prevents the nation from being in unconscionable positions.
- This specialized Office uses data from the Office of Feeling, Sensing, Perception, and Data and can poll the population to help it answer its question.
- It may also seek advice from people with exceptionally developed characters and consult law books.
- Its analysis is attached to the proposal, which is then sent to the Office of Feeling, Sensing, Perception, and Data.
The Office of the Aia is a feedback office.
- It receives feedback from the Office of Manifestation and delivers it to the Council of Witness.
- Feedback occurs after implementation of a proposal.
- It looks for anything unexpected, such as cost overruns, unexpected developments, or mistakes.
- It investigates why something unexpected happened and seeks to uncover the root of that unknown knowledge.

Issuer Involvement

The issuer of a proposal will be frequently involved as the proposal makes its way through the system.

There is a circuit in the system and all proposals go through it at least once, but many proposals may go through the circuit several times. Every time there is a change to a proposal, it must go through the circuit again.

Each time there is a change or refinement, the issuer will be involved to guide the change, approve the change, or even make the change. Sometimes the issuer will have to defend their proposal. Other times he or she will have to educate the people.

Local System

Smaller versions of the Triune Democratic system are available for small towns. Local offices can be networked with the main offices to make the power of this system available in your local community. The system can run with as few as six people.

Elections and Representation

Representation is achieved via the Council of Witness, which uses qualified elected representatives. The Council is balanced by region, race, or other criteria, and by sex.

The lowest leadership level of the Office of Manifestation is also an elected position for people who are qualified.

All other positions in this system are filled based on qualifications and need, like any job.

Anti-Corrupt By Design

Triune Democracies are far more complex than the current three-branch design found in representative democracies. It is not merely a system of "checks and balances", but one of "anti-corruption by design".

There are six offices (Identity, Rightness, Conscience, Priorities, Realization, Reason) and a Council dedicated to ensuring that no proposal is corrupt in any way before it is implemented, and two offices (Identity, Aia) that specifically look for corruption after-the-fact. The entire process is one of refinement and narrowing to arrive at the best possible course of action.

The Office of Identity has its own police force to specifically attack corruption within the system and they have the ability to dismantle and rebuild corrupt offices from their templates as needed.

No singular office can apprehend the system and wield power. All are limited to their functions and only their functions are required for the system to operate. Only the Paragon can commandeer the entire system, but he or she can only do so if he or she is supremely qualified and has risked his or her life several times, and even then, the Paragon serves under a sword of Damocles. There is a rock-paper-scissors dynamic between the Office of Identity, the Paragon, and the Council of Witness to further mitigate corruption in these three core offices.

Every position is guarded by a test of character that specifically evaluates people on how corruptible they are. Elections do not prove qualifications! We test their beings to ensure they are operating correctly because the slightest deviation can be manipulated by enemy actors and used to control them and corrupt the system. Even if someone were to game the character test successfully, the system will not allow them to gain control.

Lastly, it truly is a system for the people. There is no royal lineage, no family dynasties, and no party politics that get in the way of navigating a Triune Democratic civilization in this reality through time.
