How deliberation works

🗣️
Open
What: The thread is live. Anyone can read and cast a signal.
Why: Surfaces who's paying attention before discussion begins.
Outcome: A signal distribution — who supports, who has concerns.
→
💬
Deliberating
What: Verified participants post and respond. Chronological — no algorithmic ranking.
Why: Forces engagement with the issue before anyone can propose a solution.
Outcome: A thread record of what was considered and why.
→
📋
Proposing
What: Participants submit formal proposals. Discussion is locked.
Why: Separates deliberation from decision-making. You can't skip ahead.
Outcome: A defined set of options to vote on.
→
🗳️
Voting
What: One vote per participant per proposal. Immutable once cast. Results hidden until closed.
Why: Prevents strategic vote-switching based on real-time results.
Outcome: A documented collective decision.
→
📣
Closed
What: Results are published. The audit log is complete. A lobbyist acts on the outcome.
Why: Deliberation without execution is just talk.
Outcome: Real political pressure, traceable to this thread.
