The protocol has two components: an absolute consensus component, and then a way to calculate thresholded consensus, and finally an efficiency improvement on the thresholded consensus.
N voters want to determine if they all agree on a binary proposition.
I wonder what Illich would think of these. I think these are more convivial than not, now that they're in a more affordable price range. Hackerspaces especially have the feel of convivialization, because when they're Open, they have the tendency to reduce the need for specialization and such by not only making the tool available to all financial levels, but also eliminating the need for controlled specialized knowledge.
But this raises some questions: many of the tools we use in hackerspaces DO have some amount of constraints here: a novice who breaks the only 3D printer in the space makes it unusable for everyone and thus is a thing we wish to avoid. Some

| Dear Judge Trenga, | |
| During the contempt hearing on May 16, 2019, this Honorable Court directed me to take the opportunity during my confinement to reflect on my principles with respect to the institution of grand juries in the United States. This letter responds to that directive. |
| - Descriptivism vs. Prescriptivism and what words mean | |
| - Social Construction | |

| -- So basically, consider the follwing type class definition: | |
| class Functor f => MonoidalApplicative f where | |
| unitA :: f () | |
| pairA :: f a -> f b -> f (a,b) | |
| -- We can make a Maybe instance like so: | |
| instance MonoidalApplicative Maybe where | |
| unitA = Just () |
