Extension: Token-based Voting Systems

Record: kaal:position:2026-08-08-198 · 2026-08-08

Token-based Voting Systems states that concave transformations can map token holdings into votes while preserving participation incentives and compressing excessive voting power. This extends Kaal's non-linear microdemocratic allocation mechanism with a token-weight transformation. The abstract proposition does not establish equivalence to capped priority allocation or report comparative voting outcomes.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
