CNA People's Overview

2008, Mark G. Meyers

People's Overview

Above: Material submissions, or "edits", as generally produced by org members, are submitted for sponsorship by the org. When all information processing tasks have passed, the new material is incorporated into the site's total output product.

The total number of checks in this process are proportionate to the number of individual actions applied. Checks of greatest impact include; decentralization, branches, layers, random task dispatching, verification of identities, charters, audits, and records that bind the actors to each action performed.

General Spectrum of CNA Types

Social Heuristics

Divestiture: Any CNA that grows to a certain size should divide into separate, smaller CNAs

Decentralization: No one CNA should be supported that possesses or embodies global oversight

Failure: Any CNA that is bad should fester, or fail, such that in doing so the remaining network will be improved
