Digital Republic or Democracy?

Each green has singular relationship to hub; only indirectly relate with each other. (Borrowed graphic infra)

The Hub & Spoke model of Direct Digitial Democracy supposes that a finalized opinion (Hub) must be resolved universally. A Tree model of a republic allows opinion with respect to neighbors.

Neighbors in Tree have doubled relationships.

Resolving opinion with respect to neighbors improves connectivity by 100% over the Hub & Spoke. And the Bottom Up method is the opposite of Divide & Conquer.

The improvement is calculated by showing each leaf node has 1 connection; like hub & spoke. Each balanced delegate node has 3 connections. A singular root node has only two connections. At any exponential binary sample; and as the size of the group increases; approximately half of the participants are not delegates and half are delegates. 50% times 3 is 1.5 plus 50% of 1 sums to 2. The expected connectivity increases from 1 to 2, a 100% increase in connectivity.

I think groups of two is a provable maximum of connectivity in a randomly sample balanced tree. Furthermore, the connectivity is more evenly distributed. Presuming an acyclic graph is important to the psychology of human group making decisions about politics; or winners and losers. For example, March Madness Brackets.

The dynamic social network graph is a very cyclic entity. And replacement of the dynamic social network graph cycles is not suggested. However, we have a tradition of organizing as tree; often top down corporate tree; as well as bottom-up representative governments. Why not apply mathematical optimization to this tradition?

Traditionally; we did not have computers to do a lot of tedious math. And second; the root of a tree often endeavors to entrench itself into its environment. Most people posture in a less elastic position within a tree as elaborated in alternative postulates such as by Marx and Mao regarding continual revolution.

What is your relationship to Donald Trump; speaking degrees of “Kevin Bacon?” What if you could know exactly and in nearly real time what your degree to Bernie Sanders is now.

I have modest software skills and am seeking help from others to build this type of platform. Please let me know if interested in a Digital Republic.
