Topic Proposals (period 134)

This is a poll to determine priority of topics at the time of period 134 of Eden Fractal. It is part of stage 2 of Synchronous Respect Tree V1 game.

Spread your Respect-weighted votes among topics according to your understanding of what topics are the most important to discuss right now. This will help determine our discussion topics for the upcoming town hall and the following week.

Topics

TP: Update our ORDAO configuration

Current configuration of Eden Fractal's ORDAO was meant to be temporary to allow old participants to claim their old respect before any contentious ORDAO proposals are executed. Current configuration is also becoming too limiting when we start passing more proposals per week.

I propose to make the these configuration changes: https://hackmd.io/@sim31/ef-ordao-config-update

This will only take a moment to pass and then we can move on to the next topics.

I already made ordao proposals that would implement these changes in 18 days, assuming we don't cancel it before then:

• Set periods
• Set max live yes votes

TP: Celebrating the Five-Year Anniversary of More Equal Animals

February 21st marks the five-year anniversary of the release of "More Equal Animals: The Subtle Art of True Democracy" by Daniel Larimer—the book that originally sparked the Eden community and laid the philosophical foundation for what we're building with fractal democracy.

More Equal Animals provided a blueprint for genuine democratic governance that resists centralization and empowers individuals through fractal structures. The principles in this book directly inspired the formation of Eden on EOS, which brought hundreds of participants together for revolutionary democratic elections, and subsequently inspired Fractally, the Genesis Fractal, Eden Fractal, and the entire fractal ecosystem that continues to grow today. Nearly five years later, our community is a living testament to the power of these ideas.

We could use this discussion to reflect on what More Equal Animals has meant to our community, share favorite insights from the book, and discuss how its principles continue to guide our work. I'm also working on updated educational resources about More Equal Animals and the roots of Eden, including an article series that curates the rich library of educational content that many people may not be aware of. I encourage everyone to check out our article about More Equal Animals and the Foundations of Eden on the Eden Fractal blog for a deeper dive into these resources and the history that led to our community.

Whether you've read the book cover to cover or are hearing about it for the first time, this is a wonderful opportunity to explore the ideas at the heart of what we're building together. The free e-book is available for anyone who wants to read or listen to it before the event. You can read the book in PDF and listen to the audiobook.

TP: Continuing Discussions on Fractalgram Development

Fractalgram has been a major topic of discussion over the past several weeks, and our community has been actively working to specify how the next generation of this essential tool should be built. As the primary interface for playing the Respect Game at our events, Fractalgram is central to Eden Fractal's operations and to the broader fractal ecosystem's ability to scale governance processes.

Recent discussions have covered a cross-platform architecture for Fractalgram, the specification-driven development approach using GitHub, platform priorities (with Telegram as a primary implementation), and how Fractalgram integrates with ORDAO and other governance infrastructure. There's still much to discuss and decide as we work toward the next version, and community input is valuable in shaping the direction of this tool.

This topic proposal suggests we continue these conversations at the upcoming Town Hall, providing space to share updates on development progress, discuss open questions about the specification, and ensure that community members have a voice in the direction of the tool that facilitates our core governance process. Whether you're a developer interested in contributing or a community member who uses Fractalgram regularly, your perspective matters for building the best tool possible.

TP: Eden Fractal 2026 Resolutions

Original post: https://t.me/edenfractal/5562/5959

As we embark on a new year and a new season, it's worth taking some time to align on what we hope to accomplish. Eden Fractal is almost four years old, and while we've made tremendous progress in developing fractal governance tools and processes, our core mission of implementing fractal decision-making throughout society remains a work in progress.

The new year brings new opportunities—blockchain and AI technologies are evolving rapidly, and Eden Fractal is positioned to play an increasingly important role in improving collective decision-making for communities everywhere. This topic invites participants to share thoughts on what we should prioritize this year, consider seting explicit community goals or "New Year's resolutions," and how we can support each other in spreading fractal democracy more broadly.

This topic is intentionally open-ended. It's about setting intentions together as we navigate the year ahead. Of course, we can also discuss this topic in the coming weeks and months as well. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and collaborating to grow fractals in 2026!

TP: Fractalgram

Fractalgram is core component of Eden Fractal and many other fractals. However we currently do not have a reliably working implementation of it. We should prioritize this problem because it's essential for user friendly experience in fractals.

We can use this topic to discuss existing tools and approaches to solving this problem.

TP: Score accumulation and reporting in SRT V1 and other improvements or feedback

I think currently the biggest problem with our current SRT game is that lack of a clear score accumulation and reporting system.

It would be useful to have a page where people would be able to see all CRs that have been created (throughout say current season). This would especially be useful for new contributors. The analogous feature would also be useful for TPs. Relying on re-proposing all the CRs and TPs that are still relevant for every period will become to cumbersome.

Possible solution: create a toolchain that builds a report by processing results of last N SRT periods. That brings up a question of how to accumulate the scores of CR and TPs items? Probably some kind of decay mechanism would be desirable?

Another idea to explore: introduce contribution (Cs) items. Besides providing a systematic way to report contributions and connect them with CR, this could create a tool to subtract from CRs in accumulative score function (if a lot of people have voted on particular contribution, maybe that means that the corresponding CR is answered?).

This could also serve as time to express other feedback about SRT V1 and propose other improvements.
