Transcendental values
Derived node: assembled mechanically from the claims carrying transcendental-values. A roster, not an adjudicated definition.
Every claim under this term
- 3402701-038 : Because the Folk Theorems make governance protocols permanently provisional, long-term stability requires that the group be organized around a transcendental value, a goal meaningful and commonly held
- 3402701-039 : Commonly held expressions of organizational values are essential to designing and implementing any governance structure and are far more important in decentralized organizations, which inherently have
- 3782192-019 : The second necessity for long-term stability is that the organization hold to its ideals and transcendental values, so that the spirit of the law overrides the letter of the law.
- 3782192-020 : Governing by transcendental values, ideals that everyone understands but no one can concretely attain, reduces members' motivation to probe the limits of acceptable behavior and therefore reduces the
- 3782193-009 : Sacralized law generates more stable and successful institutions than secular belief systems, as shown by evidence that religious communes outlast secular communes at every stage of their life course.
- 3782193-010 : Transcendental values are more stable unifiers of a group than formal secular rules.
- 3782193-013 : Because a transcendental value is by definition not rigorously formalizable, people organizing around an eternally unobtainable ideal without clear boundaries are less likely to probe the boundaries o
- 3782193-014 : An ideal DAO with open membership for anonymous members from any culture can maintain harmony only if its members share a transcendental value, work toward a common purpose even if that purpose is sim
- 3782193-019 : The lesson the authors draw from Imperial China and Pharaonic Egypt is that decentralization of power and individual autonomy give long-term stability when the society also has unifying ideals it can
- 3782193-020 : Without a transcendental spiritual or philosophical principle to unify a society, its rules erode as exceptions to the routine are discovered that improve function temporarily yet violate the founding
- 3782203-002 : Building effective and efficient DAOs requires three things together: a secure and meaningful reputation system, maximum bureaucratic transparency through a dynamic governance structure, and coherent
- 3782203-015 : Keeping dynamic rules coherent over the long run requires a decentralized organization to commit to transcendental values as primary, where transcendental means values that cannot be specified precise
- 3782205-012 : Historically, whenever a healthy decentralized organization began to earn money it quickly devolved into a centralized institution, because its uniting ideals shifted from transcendental value to a de
- 3782205-037 : DAOs derive their unity from ideals and aspirations that lie beyond their protocols, making strong unifying transcendental values the most important requirement for long-term coherence and stability.
- 3782214-033 : Without unifying transcendental ideals, liminal cases will fragment a decentralized network; transcendental values are therefore always necessary to maintain the stability of a network and should be t
- 3782217-038 : Review creates a decentralized history for a DAO, and that history gives the organization momentum, gives meaning and focus to perception, and is the basis for making governance, understood as steerin
- 3782217-040 : The most important aspect of a decentralized organization, and the feature that ultimately determines its long term success, is the group's set of transcendental values.
- 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.
- 3782220-004 : Transcendental values are necessary for long-term stability because every formal, explicitly specified protocol is permanently exposed to strategies that subvert it, a result the authors draw from the
- 3782220-021 : Transcendental values must remain transcendental, because once formalized too rigorously they become more manipulable: a clearly specified definition becomes a focal point for competition instead of a
- 3782220-031 : As an organization loses touch with its transcendental values, members use the rules to jockey for position in the hierarchy and corruption erodes the organization's effectiveness.
- 3782220-035 : Unlike scientific laws, transcendental values cannot be stated formally and explicitly, so they must be authored by people in touch with transcendental beauty, true poets, who are nevertheless grounde
- 3782220-040 : Decentralized organizations are only as stable as their autonomous members' adherence to their ideals, and that same autonomy makes members individually responsible for constructing, nourishing, and r
