Ekoh: Liquid Meritocracy
Democracy counts heads. Ekoh weighs minds.
A consensus protocol designed to solve the "Ignorance of the Crowd" without falling into the "Corruption of the Elite."
The Bug in Democracy
The Ignorance of the Crowd.
Asking the general public to vote on nuclear reactor safety protocols is dangerous. Pure democracy treats the opinion of a nuclear physicist and a flat-earther as mathematically equal on technical issues.
The Bug in Technocracy
The Corruption of the Elite.
Experts often lose touch with reality or serve special interests. A panel of unelected scientists may mandate policies that are technically correct but socially disastrous or inhumane.
The Solution: Weighted Voting
The Formula
Liquid Delegation
You do not have time to be an expert in everything. In a traditional democracy, you elect a representative for 4 years and hope for the best. In Liquid Democracy, you delegate your vote dynamically by topic.
Granular Trust
"I trust Alice for Environmental Policy, but I trust Bob for Economic Policy."
Transitive Flow
If you delegate to Alice, and Alice delegates to Carol, your vote flows to Carol automatically.
Instant Recall
If Alice betrays your trust, you can revoke your delegation instantly via the app. No waiting for elections.
The Result: High-Signal Governance
Ekoh creates a system where Influence = Trust + Competence. It drowns out the noise of populism while preventing the rigidity of dictatorship. It is the operating system for a society that values truth over rhetoric.
