One of the main design criteria for DAOs is that their governance must lead to divergence in powers. If the design is convergent — for example continuous accumulation of power by specific parties —, eventually this means stagnation and then death.

Oh I don’t think that’s what I’m trying to say. Here’s another take: Any system that attempts to reach a specific state (eg complete distribution of goods in equal manner or complete consolidation, or any specific in between) is convergent. Divergent means it does not reach a specific state (no known limit)

i think something like $nouns solve for this. ultimately you want gov power going to those that consistently add value. $nouns lets you capture this if it is used as a fee mechanism for protocols

i agree with this too! don't think it's one or the other

Hmmm I find that argument compelling, but I also don’t think it’s right. 

My perspective is that any sort of full predictability is bad, so you want power to also go to new wild big bets, and areas where value has not been proven — else you aren’t able to reinvent yourself!
