Active at Newspeak House. Snapshot running at nwspk.eth. Full write-up to come when the experiment concludes.

Topic

Coordination & Legitimacy

Scarcity allocation, mechanism design, and what makes small-group governance outcomes feel legitimate.

Write-up in progress. Running fieldnotes and observations stay in private notes for now.

When the experiment concludes, this page will hold the finished reflection — hypothesis, intervention, observations, and what it means for coordination design.
