I should clarify:  when a weirdly-scammy proposal comes up (like the
one I did recently) then sure, the author matters for "trust".  More
often, there's so many conversations going on that author is the best
keyword/memory jog for me - e.g. I see a proposal that says "random
fixes III" and I only know the context on what needs fixing because I
remember that [author] had been leading a discussion on it recently
and I saw several drafts go by so I know it had some review/editing
(without that memory jog I'm more prone to shrug and vote Present).

Well we have a mechanism that is basically the same as
self-ratification (in principle) in R107 with the "lack identified
within one week" clause.  We could update this language to make use of
self-ratification but it doesn't really change the issue of what
missing/wrong sub-parts should invalidate the decision.
What I was going for was allowing fixing a distribution; my 
understanding of the current distribution rules is that they don't give 
force to revisions, while self-ratification does.




The author doesn't
affect the proposal's operation so isn't a substantive aspect 99% of
the time, but it absolutely has an effect when I come to think of how
to vote.


Hmm... I wasn't thinking about this. I don't really care who the author 
of a proposal is, just what the text is. I guess I don't know who to 
trust or not.

I'm struggling with the appropriate solution.  I definitely think that
it's bad to have to re-start the voting 2 days after it begins and
require everyone to re-cast their votes, especially for something like
a wrong co-author.  At the same time, both AI and Author (and the text
obviously) are relevant to evaluating the proposals when voting.  One
issue is that AI, text, author, and co-author are all "essential
parameters" so have to be treated as legally identical at the
distribution stage, so if we make a precedent for co-author it would
apply to the proposal's text as well.  And clearly publishing the
wrong text shouldn't work, right?

Maybe a hybrid solution - though it would need to be implemented,
maybe something like "the Promotor CAN correct a parameter within 4
days of the distribution, but after the decision needs to be
re-started"?   But there should be different standards to something
like that:  an incorrect Text should always be invalid, Author and AI
within 4 days is fine, co-authors eh who cares (but there should be a
mechanism for fixing that for the eventual record).

Well we have a mechanism that is basically the same as
self-ratification (in principle) in R107 with the "lack identified
within one week" clause.  We could update this language to make use of
self-ratification but it doesn't really change the issue of what
missing/wrong sub-parts should invalidate the decision.  I think
"substantive aspect" is too ill-defined on its own - and remember this
is providing information for informed voting.  The author doesn't
affect the proposal's operation so isn't a substantive aspect 99% of
the time, but it absolutely has an effect when I come to think of how
to vote.

Would it make sense to make the distribution of a proposal 
self-ratifying? That would mean the normal CoE rules would apply, 
although it would probably need some extra protection where a 
substantive aspect (R2140) being wrong invalidates the distribution.

It was wrong in one of the essential parameters, right?

I think this is really contradictory to your stance on creating
proposals in the first place - you're stating that a Proposer has
to get it right (e.g. for AI) or the whole thing fails.  But the
Promotor, who is doing an official job that actually performs the
duty is allowed to get it wrong, and it still succeeds?  Awfully
convenient on the Promotor but not good for accurate voting.

That seems 100% backwards in my mind but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I vote based on essential parameters (AI in particular but the
rules include all of them).  If you claim to distribute a
proposal with the wrong essential parameters, you're claiming
that you distributed a proposal that doesn't actually exist.

You may have a point. It isn’t actually significantly easier for me to
correct the distribution than redistribute it; my theory has historically
been that for some errors, such as errors in coauthor, the Agoran public
would find me doing that much more annoying than useful. That said, my
reasoning is entirely based on convenience for the public, rather than the
interests of the game. So, IMO, if this doesn’t work, it probably makes

I first read "its" as referring to this new proposal, meaning this proposal
only takes effect of 8210 didn't. It doesn't make sense after actually
looking at what both proposals do, but you might want to clarify just in
case.

2019-07-19 Thread Kerim Aydin



I started a proto on this a couple months ago I'll have to dig up, but summary:

- Divide contracts into two classes (public and private).

- A Private Contract CANNOT add any abilities, ever (can't hold assets,
can't act on behalf, nothing).  A Private contract is simply used to
make violating a deal punishable, e.g.:  "If you give me 10 coins I'll vote
FOR your proposal" with the idea that if someone breaks the contract, the
other party can point a finger, provide a copy of the contract to the
referee, and the referee can penalize.  These must have 2+ people, 1 person
is pointless.  Private contracts can be modified "by agreement" like the
current contracts, and that agreement can be done privately.

- A public contract is like what exists now in terms of abilities (act-on
behalf, hold currencies), modified to allow 1-person contracts.
However, the contract must be published to be created, and all of the change
methods (adding parties, changing the contract,  termination) have to be
done publicly before they take effect - maybe just replace "can be
changed by agreement between all parties" with "can be changed Without
Objection from any parties" (and allow the contract to specify other
public methods).

Actually that's about as far as the proto got so no need to dig up, if you
want to take this outline and write something go for it - I don't think too
much digging into previous implementations is needed just some kind of split
of the current system like the above.

Personally I don't mind the scammability of 1 party contracts (they 
rarely do much on their own, other things need to happen as well) but 
they definitely need to be required to be public documents. Have you 
looked at older implementations of contracts and institutions? Several 
incarnations allowed one party (or even no parties) and allowed the 
institution to have assets.

If you want stronger protections added, such as an amendment to AiaN

Also, just as a practical matter, the fact that contracts can be private
is a big issue for 1-person contracts - with 2-person contracts there's
at least an evidence trail that can be provided (emails), but one-person
contracts don't have that.  Some modification to require one-person
contracts to be public would be needed.

Finally, not even sure it works - just on textual definitions saying
"one person may make an agreement with emself" is problematic especially
if they're private contracts.  That's kind of nonsense.  If taken
literally, it's worth pointing out that we adjudicate contract-forming
broadly.  In that if two parties make a deal (without using the word
contract), it's an enforceable contract under many situations.  With those
precedents, one could argue that, one generally always agrees with emself -
so every action a person takes is a contract with oneself.

So - conceptually I might be convinced to take this route again, but
practically, just substituting "one" for "two" is not the way to go
about it - needs more thought.

Does the decision correctly identify the "matter to be decided" (R107)
if it lists a proposal that doesn't exist?  (I.E. a proposal listed
with the wrong AI is not the "matter to be decided" because such a
proposal doesn't exist).

In any case, I think the Proposal can no longer have  as an AI,
I think Proposal 8200 took  away as a possible value, so it's at
its new default (1.0).  I originally thought something more
interesting than that would happen when 8200 was adopted (which is why
I kept the proposal in the Pool) but I misread the Rules precedence
order on something, so it's just a boring AI-1 proposal now, I think.

Satisfaction method.
