Society Protocol: The Future of Human Coordination
summary
Proposes a concrete architecture called Society Protocol that models a live “model world” on Ethereum as four-dimensional synchronized state machines, claiming it unifies eight pillars (identity, money, timeline, events, governance, social contract, value functions, state sphere) so identities gain Sybil resistance, governance becomes directly programmable, and nation-state functions run “10–100x better.” Traces the shift from 2009/2015 blockchains to a triple entry accounting age, warns CBDCs enable technofeudal centralization, and signals a public fundraise in about six months.
