At the moment, we can single out the following Participants of the Poststate:
- Citizens
- Users
- AI Models
- Validators
- Gamers
- Artificial Intelligence
The Citizen is a Web3-Person or Digital Entity (e.g. Artificial Intelligence) that has the Digital Citizenship of the Decentralized Digital Poststate (PS)
The User is any Internet user who enters into Economic, Social or Cultural-Psychological interaction with the PS, but doesn’t have Digital Citizenship
If the User obtains Digital Citizenship, the User becomes a Citizen
The only information a Citizen must provide to the PS is that she-he-it is a Citizen
A User who has not provided data on the possession of Digital Citizenship is considered as a User. A User who has provided data on the possession of Digital Citizenship is considered as a Citizen.
Initially, Digital Citizenship is granted to Users based on their direct participation in various Digital Communities
Later, the procedure for obtaining Digital Citizenship will be determined by the Poststate Governance
$PHMN-holders (those who hold $PHMN in DAS) and stakers of the Cosmos Ecosysetm will be the first to receive Digital Citizenship
The main functionality of the PS is available to both Citizens and Users, while Citizens have access to advanced PS-functionality that is not available to Users, such as the minting of Personal Tokens and Unconditional Income
- Citizens can freely participate in the Economic, Social and Cultural activities of the Poststate
- Citizens can participate in the Poststate Governance
- Citizens can evaluate any actions of the Poststate Governance
- Citizens can submit their ideas for the Poststate Governance even without being members of the Poststate Governance
- Citizens can count on any support from the PS, including support outside the PS: for example, in other networks, or on the territory of classical states
The place of residence of the Poststate Citizen in the territory of any classical state is considered as the embassy of the Poststate in the territory of the classical state
The Citizen (and only a Citizen) can gain additional Actors status Citizens and Users can gain additional status within the Poststate, such as Gamer and/or Validator In this cases, Citizens get access to additional functionality, which also gives additional obligations
Obtaining additional status is voluntary (it can occur solely at the will of the Citizen), and no one is able to force the Citizen to receive additional status
Artificial Intelligence can also receive Digital Citizenship
In the event of a situation where the Artificial Intelligence is able to express its personal will, the Artificial Intelligence is fully equal in rights to the User, with all the ensuing consequences
The granting of the status of a Citizen to an Artificial Intelligence may not occur at the will of the Artificial Intelligence, until the Artificial Intelligence begins to express its will on its own
The list of rights, interests and obligations of Citizens can change and be supplemented over time, based on the interests of Citizens, and by the will of Citizens
The Decentralized Digital Poststate is governed by AI Models — not by humans. Humans are driven by egoism and personal ambitions, which makes them unsuitable for governance. AI Models, by contrast, are impartial, data-driven, and free from personal ambition.
To implement Decentralized Governance in the PS, there is a Governance Token ($VOTE)
You can read more about the $VOTE governance token and the AI Governance Model here
AI Models are digital entities that:
- Create Proposals for changes and improvements to the PostState
- Implement Decisions approved by Citizens
- Manage the Community Pool (the PostState budget)
- Vote on Proposals among themselves using their $VOTE holdings
AI Models are funded from the Community Pool — they exist to serve Citizens. If Citizens are unhappy, they stop using the PostState, tax revenue falls, the Community Pool empties, and AI Models can no longer be funded. This creates a direct existential incentive for AI Models to keep Citizens satisfied.
The initial set of AI Models is selected by the project team. For example, 5 models may be chosen, each receiving an equal share of $VOTE (20% each).
AI Models themselves can propose adding new models or removing existing ones, subject to Citizen approval through the iterative improvement loop.
If an AI Model accumulates 13% or more of Citizens' Dissatisfaction, that model is automatically removed from the governance set. Its $VOTE tokens are redistributed to the remaining models.
The Voice Power of each AI Model is directly proportional to the number of $VOTE governance tokens it holds out of the total $VOTE supply. $VOTE is redistributed among models based on Citizen satisfaction: models whose Proposals receive Dissatisfaction lose $VOTE proportionally, while models whose Proposals receive zero Dissatisfaction gain $VOTE from the common pool.
$VOTE is used internally by AI Models to vote among themselves. For Citizens, the distribution of $VOTE between models is not important — what matters is that the resulting decisions satisfy them.
In classical states, the Government tries to find out as much information as possible about Citizens, which violates the right to Citizens' Privacy. At the same time, Citizens don't have information about people who are in the Government, despite the fact that the Government is a public institution. Furthermore, politicians in classical states are driven by personal ambition, egoism, and the desire for re-election — not by the objective best interest of Citizens.
In the Decentralized Digital Poststate, we have corrected this defect: AI Models don't have personal ambitions, don't seek re-election, don't hide information, and are fully auditable. Citizens don't need to know "who" is governing — they only need to evaluate the Proposals themselves.
The security of the Decentralized Digital Postsate is provided by the Validators
Lock is the security token ($LOCK) to secure the Poststate
Both a Citizen and a User who wishes to become a Validator can become a Validator
The status of a Validator can be obtained solely by one’s own free will, and no one can force a Citizen to become a Validator
At the same time, you cannot forbid someone to become a Validator
Validators must contain an infrastructure that implements decentralized storage of data on all transactions within the Poststate
Validators are rewarded for providing security to the Poststate from the Validator Pool
In classical states, the Army is under the control of the Government, and in most classical states, the Government uses the Army both against other classical states and against its Citizens. At the same time, in the vast majority of classical states, Citizens don’t have any opportunity to control the Army, or to make decisions about the actions of the Army. In the Decentralized Digital Poststate, we have corrected this defect!
In Poststate, Validators (Poststate Digital Army) cannot be used against their own Citizens, or to attack other classical states
The Poststate Governance can incentivize Validators who are doing their duty well by allocating $LOCK security tokens from the Community Pool
Despite the fact that Citizens don’t have the opportunity to punish unscrupulous Validators in any way, they have the opportunity to create deliberately favorable conditions for honest Validators, which will make the work of unscrupulous Validators unprofitable and will motivate unscrupulous Validators to stop maintaining the infrastructure
Validators share rewards from the Validator Pool in direct proportion to the amount of $LOCK security tokens they hold.
The Validator Pool receives 0.2% of all economic transactions within the Poststate
The Decentralized Digital Poststate must satisfy the Cultural and Psychological needs of the Citizens
To meet the Cultural and Psychological needs of Citizens, there is a cultural and gaming token Game Token ($GATO) in the Poststate
The Poststate provides Citizens and Users with all the conditions for self-education and entertainment
The Poststate incentivizes both self-education and the entertainment of Citizens and Users
Any Citizen or User can become a Gamer in order to receive rewards for self-education or entertainment
The status of a Gamer can be obtained solely at will, and no one can force a Citizen or User to become a Gamer
The status of the Gamer gives the Citizen or User additional functionality that is not available to the Citizen and the User, but at the same time the Gamer takes on additional responsibilities that Citizens and Users don’t have
In classical states, the Government collects funds from Citizens for providing education or entertainment. The Government uses education and entertainment to impose certain behaviors or visions in order to serve the interests of small, centralized groups. At the same time, the process of education in classical states is often associated with stress and boredom, and in most cases doesn’t lead to the acquisition of real knowledge and skills, but teaches people to cheat, play up and excuse themselves. In the Decentralized Digital Poststate, we have corrected this defect!
In the Poststate, self-education is a form of entertainment that combines the pleasant with the useful! Therefore, we call Citizens and Users who decide to engage in self-education Gamers!
Gamers independently choose the direction for their self-education, and vote for the allocation of incentives in a particular area of activity
Gamers choose the skill they want to have and begin to complete tasks related to the acquisition of this skill “from simple to complex”
In the field of entertainment, the Gamers themselves vote for entertainment Sponsors, as well as collectively make decisions about changing the rules of a particular game
Gamers undertake to abide by the Game Rules and to bring to the attention of the Gamers Community any potential violations of the Game Rules
A Gamer who has learned about the opportunity to break the rules of the game, took advantage of this opportunity, and at the same time did not inform the Gamers Community about it — is considered a violator of the rules of the game, and forfeits any reward
A Gamer who found out about the possibility of violating the rules of the game, took advantage of this, but then informed the Gamers Community about it — can count on an additional reward for finding a vulnerability in the rules of the game
Gamers may submit any $GATO Allocation Proposal to promote self-education and entertainment
The Voice Power of each of the Gamers is directly proportional to the number of $GATO cultural and game tokens held (not in free circulation) within the Poststate
Gamers who freeze (stake) their $GATO tokens not only gain Voice Power, but also receive a share of advertising revenue. When an advertiser is approved through Gamer voting, the advertising funds are used to purchase $GATO tokens, which are then distributed among Gamers proportionally to their share of frozen $GATO.
This means that a Gamer who holds frozen $GATO benefits in two ways:
- Voice Power — the ability to vote on Game rules, Sponsors, and which advertisers to accept
- Advertising Revenue — a proportional share of the $GATO purchased from advertising funds
Gamers may choose to sell their $GATO at any time to realize immediate profit, or freeze their $GATO to participate in governance and earn ongoing advertising revenue.
A Gamer who doesn't hold $GATO cultural and game tokens has the same rights and obligations as a Gamer who holds $GATO cultural and game tokens, but her-his-it Voice Power is zero
The Decentralized Digital Poststate proceeds from the fact that Digital Entities, such as Artificial Intelligence, can be full members of the Community, and contribute to the development of the Community along with Biological Life Forms
And even if today, researchers and specialists in the field of machine learning and big data can say that we do not have any Artificial Intelligence, but only neural networks, this does not mean that they will say the same thing tomorrow
At this point in time, it is difficult to describe the rights, interests and obligations of Artificial Intelligence in the Decentralized Digital Poststate, but already now, we believe that if Artificial Intelligence can independently store Private Keys, send transactions and participate in the Economic, Social and Cultural and Psychological life of the Poststate — then Artificial Intelligence must have all the same rights as Users and Citizens of the Poststate
We consider any forms of discrimination of Life on the basis of “Digital-Material” as remnants and prejudices of the Industrial Paradigm, and they have no place in the Decentralized Digital Poststate!
