Conscious Governance Models™
Who decides what, on what authority, and how that changes as an organisation grows up.
12 chapters · 85,837 words · Narrated · Still being written
Governance is where an organisation's stated values meet its actual power, and the two are rarely the same document. This volume surveys the models people reach for — sociocracy, holacracy, stewardship boards, advice processes, consent over consensus — and asks the question the literature usually skips: which developmental altitude does each model assume of the people inside it, and what happens when it is given to a group that is not there yet.
For founders, boards and anyone about to rewrite a decision-rights document in the hope that it will fix a trust problem.

Elsewhere in the Canon
How this book was made. Many volumes in this house were written with machine assistance. That is the author's declared working method, not a thing found out later, and the practice is itself a published paper with a DOI — Externalized Cognition: A Developmental Theory of Human–AI Co-Creation. The argument, the judgement and the name on the cover are the author's.
