Everything decided in DirectDemocracyS is born from long, hard, and complicated work, based on proposals, discussions, ideas, projects, testing, selection, voting by our shared leadership, and implementation. Every idea and proposal from anyone who joins us is brought to fruition in various groups by our official members.
The choice to divide our groups with numerical codes makes it much easier for our collective ownership, made up of all our official members, to manage and control our entire system.
These divisions are fundamental rules established from the beginning to divide our activities, and to prevent, for example, a single group, or a few groups, from having too much power, we have always decided from the beginning, that each of our official members could be part of all groups, with the sole exception of the specialist groups code 06, we talk about it at this link:
Geographic groups code 07, numerical groups code 08, and various project groups code 09. Only our official members, who declare, document, possess, and continuously demonstrate their expertise, can join the specialist groups. The reason is simple. A professional system cannot allow those who have not studied, taught, or worked in certain sectors to join expert groups, for the simple reason that not everyone has the necessary skills and knowledge required. In the geographical groups at the various international, continental, national, local, and micro-group levels, anyone can only join if they are a resident or hold citizenship, according to very specific and detailed rules and requirements. In practice, not everyone makes decisions for all territories, but there are limitations to allow for fair and equitable local autonomy, while respecting the various integrity and hierarchies. People can access numerical groups based on the last number of their unique identification code (or personal profile) in DirectDemocracyS, according to the following scheme: numerical group 081 if it ends with 1 and 6, 082 if it ends with 2 and 7, 083 if it ends with 3 and 8, 084 if it ends with 4 and 9, or 085 if it ends with 5 and 0. This random subdivision has allowed us, from the very beginning, to communicate, collaborate, and carry out countless activities together, with people from various populations, even those with ongoing conflicts, and with great historical, cultural, ethnic, religious, political, and traditional differences. This allows us to be united in diversity, practicing mutual respect. In the various projects, while any of our official members can carry out activities, do business, and invest in potentially any activity, only those who pay the required fees for each type and category can be integrated into each individual project, always according to specific rules.
For all other groups, starting with the five special groups, each of our official members, as the collective owner of our entire system, can join all of them, according to specific rules. Our recommendation is not to join all five groups at once, but to start with just one special group and slowly and gradually increase the number of special groups they join, based on their free time, skills, and knowledge of our system. But no one can stop an official member, if they wish, from joining all five special groups at once; the only problem will be getting used to five completely different types of activities, all at once.
We must reiterate a not insignificant detail, for those who superficially accuse us of being a secret sect, or an overly closed and overprotected system, that potentially anyone can join us, and by respecting our rules, methodologies, and instructions, anyone who joins us and meets all the requirements can become our official member, thus collectively owning our entire system. Those who make these kinds of claims judge a book by its title, or by its cover. Or they rely on specious and false assessments by humans or certain artificial intelligences, who, by not analyzing our system comprehensively, openly, and comprehensively, express inconsistent criticisms and hasty judgments, often with the aim of denigrating, boycotting, slowing us down, or worse, stopping us. We're not complaining, we're not childish, and we're not crying, but we'd like to be evaluated on facts, not impressions, understanding our potential and the potential consequences of our existence, and not on potential critical issues, which, if they existed, would be less than those of other systems. In short, while allowing everyone complete freedom, we'd like to be considered for what we truly are: innovative, and completely different from all others, therefore unique and inimitable. Those who look at DirectDemocracyS measure and evaluate it with the same criteria as other systems, looking for similarities, which don't exist, because no system is more complete, fair, equitable, perfectly functional, and secure than ours. This is the undeniable reality because there's been enormous, hard, long, and complicated work done by everyone who has joined us, and by those who will join us in the future. We have analyzed all the mistakes, all the critical issues, all the problems, and all the cruelties committed throughout history, and we have found solutions to prevent and resolve each of those already seen, even foreseeing possible but not yet realized scenarios. This excellent work, of which we are proud, makes us appear presumptuous, vain, and even unpleasant, but we limit ourselves to analyzing reality, telling the truth, even knowing that not everyone will understand, not everyone will accept our explanations and our motivations, but sooner or later time will prove us right. Our undeniably solid theory must necessarily work in reality, implementing and realizing all our rules, respected by all.
To those who accuse us of talking and not concluding, of boasting before winning even a single election, we say: 1. Give us the time we need; there was no instruction manual to create such a complex system from scratch. The old and failed traditional systems, with their respective political forces and political representatives, have had a long time to actually carry out their activities, with the abysmal results we all know, with very few short-lived exceptions. 2. Without a good theory and without comprehensive research, and all the necessary tests, there can be no good concrete results; therefore, we must pay attention to every tiny detail. 3. Give us your trust not because we claim to be infallible, but because, given our structure, it is unlikely we can do worse than those who preceded us. At least we share all the power we have gained with our voters, on our platforms, continuously, with anyone who joins us, including those who will not vote with us.
Our five special groups have already had some informative articles, and we'll certainly publish more. They have clear names and codes. 1. Special Administration Group. This is the engine that runs our entire system; virtually all our activities take place in our administration group, both online and in person. 2. Special Security Group. This ensures the ongoing protection of our entire system, everyone who is part of it, and ensures that all laws and regulations are followed. It carries out all necessary checks and continuously verifies the integrity of all our users, groups, technologies, and anyone who wants to communicate, collaborate, or join us. We discuss this in various links, including this one we recommend:
03. Special Group on Rules, Laws, and Justice. This group proposes, discusses, chooses, tests, decides, votes, and implements our rules. It proposes laws at all levels, internally and externally (our proposed laws). It administers internal justice, rewards, and punishes. We discuss it at this link:
https://www.directdemocracys.org/home/our-system/public/special-groups/03-rules-laws-and-justice
4. Special Equality and Meritocracy Group. Equality is very important only if it is guaranteed to everyone, individually, humans and technologies, groups, and in all activities throughout the system, always in continuous union with meritocracy. If either is missing, a system cannot deliver optimal results. This group is also responsible for evaluating our users, our groups, and our technologies, allowing for the accumulation of points, which we believe are the best way to evaluate the concrete results of anyone who joins us. These points are the perfect balance of the various hierarchies, both traditional and bottom-up, therefore horizontal. 5. Special Logic, Common Sense, Truth, Study, Reality, Resilience, Consistency, and Mutual Respect Group. This is a very important special group because by applying the definitions in its name to all our activities, all our decisions, and throughout our entire system, we are highly professional and useful for the common good.
In addition to the five special groups, there is Group 00, the creators, initiators, and guarantors of our system. It is composed of the five people who had the idea to create DirectDemocracyS, the 277 subsequent official members who decided on the fundamental rules before partially making our system public, and some super administrators subsequently accepted into this group. This group, along with all five other special groups, is essential for evaluating and authorizing individuals, groups, and activities throughout our entire system. This group constantly reminds us why we were created, where we want to go, and how we must get there. It allows us to maintain our identity and remain true to our motivations.
Each special group, and all other group codes, have potentially infinite categories, divided into countless subgroups, all connected by human (physical) and technological (platform and virtual) bridges, creating a highly complex, resilient, and perfectly functional mechanism, regardless of whether we have just a few users, many users, or even the entire population of the earth. This independence and optimal functioning, even with very many users, is guaranteed by self-financing (through annual fees, donations, and advertising contracts), but also by the architecture of our system, created as an enormous mechanism, consisting of infinite chains, all interconnected by countless links, so that if one link were to weaken, break, or be missing, the entire structure would be able to replace the missing or weak link, without weakening the entire structure.
Many people, and even some technologies, are saying: it's a great project, but how will it work with so many users, all different from each other, and not all joining with the best intentions? Thanks to excellent work by many of our human and technological groups in anticipating and addressing critical issues, those with good intentions will be empowered, and those with bad intentions will be rendered harmless and irrelevant, because they will be found by our human and technological groups, reported internally, or externally (if necessary), monitored (through cross-checks that respect privacy and anonymity), investigated, charged, tried, and, if guilty, convicted—in an intelligent, discreet, yet very careful and secure manner.
