Constitutional Governance in Metric Spaces: A Polynomial-Time Process

A recent paper published on arXiv introduces a polynomial-time methodology for constitutional governance within metric spaces, merging aggregation, deliberation, amendment, and consensus into one cohesive framework. The constitution outlines a specific metric space, an aggregation rule, and a supermajority requirement for each amendable aspect. Members cast votes and submit personal proposals as ideal elements. Any member can propose a public initiative, provided it garners supermajority support through coalition discussions, optimization, or AI mediation. The constitutional framework evaluates proposals against the existing status quo, adopting the one with the highest positive score or maintaining the current state. This approach overcomes previous research challenges where essential metric-space aggregators were NP-hard and stages were considered separately.
