Readme
Xophz POLOS (xophz-compass-polos)
Category: Command Deck · Group: Governance · Version: 26.5.1
A multi-scale fractal consensus engine with quadratic voting, liquid proxy delegation, Circle Web-of-Trust (WoT), and federated w⁴ cross-node governance for COMPASS and YouMeOS.
Description
Xophz POLOS (Greek Pólos, the celestial axis and True North pivot) enables collective decision-making across scales: from the sovereign individual to student pods, university faculties, municipal townships, and planetary networks.
It operates on WordPress primitives with high-performance REST APIs, supporting quadratic credit voting (cost = votes^2) to resist plutocratic influence, dynamic governance circles, and peer vouching.
Core Capabilities
- Quadratic Credit Voting: Mathematical power scaling where voice credit expenditure equals votes squared, ensuring balanced community governance.
- Liquid Proxy Delegation: Topic-specific proxy voting delegation enabling specialists to vote on behalf of community members.
- Fractal Scopes: Scoped decision-making rings spanning Sovereign Self, Circle / Pod, Guild, and Polis (Local Node).
- Circle Web-of-Trust: Dunbar-scale peer attestation matrix anchoring human uniqueness without centralized identity collection.
- Federated w⁴ Mesh: Cross-node consensus sync and cryptographic Merkle tallies without centralized PII storage.
Requirements
- WordPress 5.8+, PHP 7.4+
- Compatible standalone or bundled with Xophz COMPASS
