Constitutional Governance in Metric Spaces

Ehud Shapiro, Nimrod Talmon

Constitutional governance in metric spaces integrates voting, proposal submission, and supermajority amendment into a single polynomial-time protocol that communities can run on personal devices.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We propose constitutional governance in metric spaces, integrating these stages into a coherent polynomial-time protocol for constitutional governance.

C2weakest assumption

That public proposals carrying supermajority support can be effectively sourced from deliberation, vote aggregation, or AI mediation, and that the generalized median rule ensures no misreport weakly dominates sincere voting at majority threshold.

C3one line summary

A polynomial-time constitutional governance protocol in metric spaces unifies aggregation, supermajority amendment, deliberation, and consensus for digital communities and organizations.
