The parts of the engine.
Three open protocols so far: media that cannot be bought, governance that can be audited, and a vote you can lend to someone who knows more than you and take back the same afternoon. Each has a litepaper below. They are specifications rather than manifestos, and the useful response to a specification is an objection. The engine needs more parts than three, and the rest are still being worked out.
Amplifier
MediaReach as something earned rather than bought. Influence is metered in two units, Watts and Volts, and there is no route to purchasing either. The question the protocol exists to answer: what does a media layer look like when paid promotion is not a feature someone switched off, but a thing the design cannot express?

GovernanceGovernance and funding as a process that runs, not an event that recurs. Participation is continuous, delegation moves as circumstances do, and money travels through contracts anyone can read. The ledger is not the point. The point is that an allocation and the argument for it are the same record.

VotingLiquid democracy, made operational. Vote on what you care about and hand the rest to someone whose judgement you trust, one domain at a time. Delegation is transitive, revocable the moment you change your mind, and verifiable without exposing who you are.

v-nextMedia, money and voting are the three we have specified. They are not the whole engine. If a mechanism belongs in the foundation and none of these cover it, write the spec and make the case — same bar as the others, and it has to survive the five tests.
