	~~###~~ Proposal systems and agenda openness		=== Proposal systems and agenda openness ===

	A central feature of the architecture is universal proposal rights. Citizens do not merely vote on pre-selected issues. They may initiate questions and thereby dissolve the agenda monopoly that characterized representative politics.<ref>Yalcin Veddat Durkac, ''The Inevitable Electric Technocracy: Why Traditional Governance No Longer Works'', DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/8N7RD.</ref>		A central feature of the architecture is universal proposal rights.

	Unlike electoral systems that outsource sovereignty for fixed terms, DDD renders legitimacy continuous.

	~~###~~ Advisory but not sovereign		=== Advisory but not sovereign ===

	Crucially, these functions remain advisory and administrative. No ASI recommendation becomes binding simply by virtue of optimization or predictive superiority.

	One of the architecture’s central institutional claims is that DDD becomes workable at planetary scale because ASI absorbs the analytical burden that representative institutions once claimed to monopolize. This is how the architecture abolishes politicians without abolishing the capacity for complex governance.

	The fiscal layer simultaneously includes '''Human Tax Exemption''', which removes ordinary human labor and existence from the primary tax base.

	Distribution is not treated as an afterthought. It is part of the constitutional meaning of equality in the order. Without material distribution, formal sovereignty would be hollow.
