I think one issue I'm having with plurality as presented is the focus on the edges of the graph rather than the dimensionality of the manifold
There is something deep about the way that individuals assemble memberships in a pluralistic landscape, and the way they value those memberships with effort and attention, that is not captured simply by entry-exit-fork-merge, an immutable changelog, and an auction format
The curation game around pluralities, in pruning connections, is equally important to the game of forming new positive sum connections, and such pruning behavior can reduce perplexity and sparsity when considering public goods auctions to bid in or memberships to acquire and retain. This dial on dimensionality is an enormously important aspect to the trilemma of technocracy/democracy/libertarianism that is not quite captured by leaning into any one of them.
I haven't spent as much time as you, Glen, or Audrey in formulating the approach, but I'll name it interstitiality just to give it a handle 0 reply
