The only way the holographic model can be applied to a blockchain project would be from the ground up. The idea of completely restructuring the governance model of an already-existing system, that has been working out the bugs of its current model for 4 years, is a non-starter.
Really? You think so? Am i wasting my time trying to persuade Hive to adopt this then?
Surely it could be used as a minimum to gather consensus from the members to help get make decisions which reflect the wishes of the users?
Ya, I don't see it ever happening to the chain itself, since that means rewriting all the code and redesigning the whole thing -> Hence it would have to be a whole new project from the start.
In terms of using similar organizational structures within the community, sure. We already have a similar (but much looser and less systematic) version of this with all the many communities, and each generally having someone(s) who go to town halls to represent them and such.
To be clear (I think we've talked about it before too), I love the Holomat/Matrix-8 structure, just find it important to focus our activism in the places where it can lead to results :-)
