Here are three forms of decentralization:- CommonAccord shows how many "legal" decisions can be decentralized using the legal convention of signed documents and techniques from open source software. It can enable personal and small group decisions with legal consequence by providing actionable information, and can facilitate large group decisions by providing a tool for, and alternative to, legislation and regulation.
- The blockchain enables decentralized record-keeping and accounts. This is a profound change and particularly important as we produc increasingly comprehensive records of our every movement and thought.
- Programs running on the blockchain are an efficient way to decentralize the automation of bureaucracy. Modules of agreed procedures and consequences can be run jointly rather than by one party. They can be apps, created and curated like open source software. This will be particularly dynamic because it can bring the ecosystem of open source and the technique of modularity to bear on complex systems.
