his week’s article outlines an early vision for an interoperable governance layer. The authors introduce a strategy designed to specify the foundational features of a generalizable paradigm for online governance that they name “Modular Politics”.

Finally, and of particular importance, we emphasize once again that constructing an effectivesystem of governance requires more than just software. Cultural and contextual factors are alsoessential [11]. Modular Politics does not specify, but depends upon, a broader “civic sphere,” by which we mean the confluence of tools, culture, and context through which participants interact. *A healthy civic sphere is one in which participants feel confidence that the governance process is meaningfully accountable to them [ 29 ], with some kind of shared norms, appropriate information flows, and **the power to influence decisions. Crafting the civic sphere is the job of platform operators, communityleaders, and community members as a whole. For example, a particular community ***might adopt language that makes governance activities appear fun and silly, or alternatively grave and serious. Policies might require prospective participants to agree to act in good faith, or other ****prerequisites, before joining the community. Platform operators might choose to implement Modular Politics in ways that bear biases toward more or less *****democratic practices. Users in positions of authority might choose to emphasize *****negative sanctions for rule-breakers or positive reinforcement. ******These kinds of choices are vitally important, and Modular Politics does not prescribe them. *******ModularPolitics, as with any procedural or computational system, is no replacement for other aspects of a healthy civic sphere.7
*rather.. one in which gov ness is irrelevant
**sans any cancerous distractions.. ie: decision making is unmooring us law et al
***rather.. need idiosyncratic jargon as ‘language’ via self-talk as data
****all cancerous distractions.. until we try the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
*****ie’s of cancerous distractions.
******to perpetuating sea world.. cancerous distractions to legit free people

*******not just not a replacement.. rather.. part of the perpetuation of the death of us ness..
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. for (blank)’s sake..

CONCLUSION
*The tools available for governance in online communities are currently limited, inflexible, andill-equipped for governance innovation. Modular Politics seeks to encourage such innovation through a dynamic, flexible model for online governance, through which community members can engage in creating and experimenting with a variety of different governance techniques. As such, Modular Politics could accelerate and proliferate innovation in governance design well beyond what occurs in offline systems, **which carry considerable burdens of inertia and path dependence. Ultimately, a successful open standard for governance could contribute to making creative and responsive governance a more widespread norm—both online and offline. This paper is a preliminary step toward that goal. ***Much research and experimentation remains in order to define a standard that is both durable and attractive for platforms to adopt, which would require specifying Modular Politics in much greater detail than we have done here. ****We hope at least to have spurred interest in the challenges to come.

we keep disturbing the ecosystem .. the dance.. because we can’t seem to let go enough to see/try the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
pearson unconditional law et al.. is keeping us locked in to myth of tragedy and lord.. constant replay of same song
**rather.. which are cancerous distractions
***actually.. all that remains is listening.. why we need tech as it could be.. can you hear me?
****unfortunately.. no matter how well intentioned.. if still any form of m\a\p.. won’t get to the root of problem.. and so .. cancerous distractions
