- 3782191-004 : There is no single definition of decentralization: its meaning changes with the kind of decentralization, the industry or field, the application, and the overall context, so what applies to political
- 3782191-005 : Because different kinds of decentralization have knock-on effects on one another, an adequate definition of decentralization requires an inclusive scope derived from its core characteristics rather th
- 3782191-006 : Defining decentralization through historically formed centralized perspectives is a contradiction in terms that undermines its true potential and limits the scope and scale of decentralized approaches
- 3782191-007 : Decentralization is not merely delegation, deconcentration, devolution, or the redistribution of centrally organized authority or centrally collected revenue; equating it with those terms misstates wh

- 3782216-006 : Maintaining consensus without a central authority forces a reputation system to verify members' votes extremely redundantly, which imposes serious computational overhead.
- 3782216-019 : Decentralization empowers knowledge at the edge: individuals with fine grained information about their neighbors and community can make better underwriting decisions than a centralized hierarchy can.
- 3782216-020 : Concentration of power, especially monopolies or trusts, decreases market liquidity, while decentralization of power improves it.
- 3782217-024 : Contrary to the common fear, wide scale decentralization of media power will not collapse centralized corporations, just as Napster and BitTorrent did not collapse the centralized music companies; dec
- 3782220-001 : Strong unifying values are the institution most essential to the long-term stability of a decentralized organization, and they demand continual reevaluation rather than one-time specification.

- 3782220-033 : Science is politically decentralized because no person, university, institution, or nation controls whether a theory becomes established fact, yet this global Science DAO is highly protocol centralize
- 3782220-036 : Decentralization requires every member to participate in constructing the organization's values, since a decentralized network is only as strong as its members and the environment it exists in.
- 3782220-037 : Because a decentralized organization does not coerce its members as centralized organizations do, its power is determined by how devoted its members are to its values, and its power is its power to un

- 3799320-016 : DAOs cannot exist and persist without ever increasing degrees of decentralization, so DAO legal designs must first and foremost supplement the internal decentralization the DAO has achieved.
- 3808852-001 : The six types of decentralization are not independent: each is subject to its own iterative process and affects the others through feedback effects, so proliferation in one type progressively changes
- 3808859-004 : Fintech is a precursor of decentralization rather than merely a financial innovation, because it pushes information toward the edge of the system and forces disrupted financial conglomerates to serve
- 3808859-008 : The social media coordination function is still largely flawed because the incentive design underlying social proof is suboptimal; decentralized technology solutions can take over that coordination fu
- 3808859-015 : The networked information economy, built on peer-to-peer exchange of information, may be replacing the centralized industrial information economy of the late nineteenth century, because cheaper access
