Are there real-world examples where ‘humanware’ solutions have successfully addressed coordination failures, similar to what the article describes? I’d love to hear thoughts on this!

Hey Josh. Apologies on late response, been moving and grinding. Although there are still issues, the Kingdom of Bhutan is a great example of humanware in action. I would also say the early Gaelic polycentric Brehon law model has elements of humanware.

Now, we need to enhance those models by relying more heavily on data ingestion and the subsequent outputs.

I'm glad to find this. I make the same kind of distinction between government and governance in my book Pioneering Prosperity: The Morazan Model for Free Cities.

Thank you, my friend. At Polis we will be ramping a massive research department for working on governance and ensuring the health and wellbeing of parallel societies. This is just the start.
