Layer 2

Governance

How decisions are made. Authority, decision matrix, and governance protocol.

1 Decision Matrix

Maps every decision type and domain to an authorized role or body, mechanism, threshold, and escalation path. Decisions made outside this matrix are considered invalid.
→
2 Governance Protocol

Defines the full lifecycle of a collective decision — from proposal submission to documentation and appeal.
→
3 Authority Registry

Lists all roles, circles, or bodies that hold decision-making authority, along with their explicit scope, limits, and term.
→
4 Federation Protocol

Defines the sovereignty, autonomy, and relationship dynamics between different properties and communities within the federation.
