ethiKos

v2

ethiKos v2 is the deliberation and decision-formation module of Konnaxion. It converts fragmented, emotional, and noisy input into decision-ready outputs that can be reviewed, contested, and implemented—without losing legitimacy.

Core submodules

ethiKos v2 stays clean by keeping strong boundaries: deliberation facts live in Korum, consultation/ballot facts live in Konsultations, and outcome readings are published by Smart Vote (Kollective Intelligence).

The deliberation pipeline

ethiKos treats legitimacy as a workflow. Each stage produces an output the next stage can reuse—so the process stays legible, replayable, and improvable over time.

0) Intake

Capture issues early: scope, constraints, stakeholders, deduplication, and initial prioritization—before debate becomes noise.

1) Discovery

Structure consultation inputs: proposals, constraints, clustering/bridges—so convergence becomes visible before escalation.

2) Deliberation

Move from reactions to reasons: arguments, objections, and tradeoffs organized into legible threads and comparable claims.

3) Drafting

Turn deliberation into decision-ready text: options, wording, rationale packets, and explicit open questions.

4) Decision

Publish baseline outcomes alongside explicitly declared Smart Vote readings (lenses). Baseline remains visible.

5) Accountability

Publish what was decided, why, and what happens next—so outcomes remain reviewable, contestable, and actionable.

What users get (not buzzwords)

Legible outcomes

Decisions come with reasons, tradeoffs, and a record of what was considered—so people can understand and contest them.

Participation without chaos

Intake and discovery are structured to surface convergence and constraints, instead of rewarding volume and outrage.

Accountability by default

Every outcome can be reviewed later, compared to promised goals, and connected to implementation work.

The decision interface that publishes baseline results alongside explicit Smart Vote readings lives in Kollective Intelligence. The v2 boundaries and contracts live in ethiKos Kintsugi.
