Cohesion Spectrum v.2

Zones and Trajectories on the Autonomy Plane

Beyond Decentralization

Power asymmetries have consistently driven the pursuits of egalitarian ideals. Some of them had lasting consequences: Athenian democratic reforms, the Gracchi brother's land reforms in Ancient Rome, the Venetian republic, the Peasants revolt in the Middle Ages, and the French Revolution are just a few examples.[1]

Cohesion Spectrum, v.1.5 RFC

The first cohesion spectrum was simple and formed a nice acronym, CABIN. It had some zones right. It also had serious issues, but exposing them was helpful in this journey. When trying to find solutions for them, I realized two things. One is that I need to account for both the autonomy cost and autonomy gain of being within a particular coordination regime. After some iterations, it got substantially better, but I'm still not happy with it, so the second thing I realized is that I need help, hence this draft, which is an RFC, Request For Comments. Unlike IETF RFCs, the intention is not to be the de facto released version, but rather a way to get to a better one.

Autonomy and Cohesion

The viability and welfare of socio-technical systems depend on their ability to balance autonomy and cohesion.

The Governance Spectrum: How Agent Identity Documents Succeed and Fail

On Infrastructure Ownership

What happens when you give an AI agent its own accounts, repos, and deploy pipelines.
