A society is more than a single entity; it’s a complex network of systems working together—sometimes in harmony, sometimes in discord—to perform intricate functions that no single part could accomplish alone. Like a body, it has a circulatory system that distributes resources (the financial system), an information network that coordinates actions (the nervous system and media), and foundational structures that anchor and support everything else (bones, and core institutions).
As such when building new societies and comparing them to one another is worth having a framework by which we can compare and contrast.
I think their are some core components of any modern society:
*ID*
*Currency*
*Governance*
*Subjectivity Formation*
*Media Ecosystem*/Public Square
All of these are self explanatory except for *Subjectivity Formation* , this is the process thorough which one becomes indoctrinated to the society. Before this process the member isn't enculturated.
| | US | EU | Freemasons | Clergy |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------- |
| ID | SSN | EU passport | Membership rolls | Priestly lineage |
| Currency | $ | € | N/A | N/A |
| Subjectivity Formation | US School System(internal) / US Immigration System(external) | Erasmus | Initiation | ordainment |
| Media Ecosystem/Public Square | Current (Fractured), Past (MSM) | N/A | [Masonic News, and lodge conversations](https://freemason.org/news-and-events/news/) | Papal Briefs |
| Governance | Federal Representative Democracy | Confederation | [Lodge system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Lodge#In_Freemasonry) | elected Monarchy |
This repo is built to help build a particular type of parallel society stack, one that looks not too dissimilar to Freemasonry, but is completely crypto-enabled. What the general form look like is something like this:
| | Network State |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| ID | Stakeable proof of personhood citizenship NFTs |
| Currency | Native coin |
| Subjectivity Formation | Subject to the particulars of the implementation |
| Media Ecosystem | parallel citizenship gated internet |
| Governance | Technodemocracy |
What this looks like in terms of a citizen experience is somehow you find out about a parallel secret society, maybe a friend invites you to a dinner at a cool hacker house, maybe you find out about a NFT mint, maybe an existing community your in decides to formalize. In any case you join this community an mint an NFT representing your citizenship/ID in that said community. This NFT then when combined with a complementary software suite allows you entry to an exclusive new internet, complete with token gated group chats, content (blogs, youtube) all E2E encrypted, and p2p. This new internet is created by and only accessible to members of that society. This society controls (via a vast interlocking web of normie organization) physical spaces that are funded and managed by it members.
