Idea-Focussed Advocacy and How Your Document Gets Delegated

Ideas are in the shape of a graph. Large graphs can be broken down into smaller sections for analysis. My idea of "freedom," which the algorithm will add to everyone else's to arrive at Liberty, can be broken down by my so that I can talk about one piece at a time.

I believe the graph of issue of "government" should be organized/broken up into ideas for advocacy. Each idea can be broken down into its constituent parts, and each of those into its constituent parts and so on until there is a single issue/idea at hand. Clean water being a good example.

Everyone want to fish in clean water. No one wants to eat fish from "their" stream and have it covered in something or get ill because it was unhealthy. What about clean water to your home? Clean water in the oceans? Its a big topic but we can relate clean water with the idea of water delivered to my home and then it becomes a bit more relevant for discussion. By breaking the idea of clean water down into a small piece that matters to me, I can talk about it.

Here is the caveat with the system. I believe, if it is built correctly the different laws that govern us will fall into the graph in an organized fashion. And in the example of clean water to my home, I would have to agree to discuss the "clean water" topic. I could further click through the system to find and open the "clean water delivery" section nested within the "clean water" section and I could make my voice heard on that topic.

In that example there may be many, many other topics/issues, related to "clean water" and if i want to open that topic and look inside a few things should happen. I should be presented with information related to the broad topic about clean water. I should be given an overview of the headline topics to be aware of. And I should be presented with a dialog that I must verify that I understand the broader implications of how the different pieces of clean water play in with each other. That way if I want to talk, vote, advocate, etc about one of the sub topics I will have a better understanding of those to relate to while working on my version of The Document.

I will also need to verify that if I do not open any of the other topics I will go along with whatever the result of the process is to build them out. By extension, the idea of "clean water" will have to live under a higher lever of the organization system. Perhaps it will be part of "promote the general Welfare."

To agree to be part of the the system one needs to agree to the Preamble to the Constitution. It the heart of the document for a reason. It's the center of the graph, I believe, when discussing the idea of government. It's all the things that government should do, and nothing it shouldn't.

If you want to edit "clean water deliver" for yourself you would have to specifically open the section on "promote the general welfare" and within that there may be a topic about "the environment around me" and within that topic there may be one about "water" and then a topic within that about "clean water" and then in there perhaps a list of topics like "definitions of clean water", "clean water delivery", "clean waterways".

And then this is where I trail off because some of these implementations should be up to how the system is designed.

We also have a huge, existing legal base, with which we are currently governed. Much of it is good, hard-fought jurisprudence and should not be tossed aside. But when laws from the federal, state, county, city, neighborhood and hoa conflict. How do we handle that? What about the fact that they all use different "numbering systems" to organize themselves. How do we import them and organize them so that we can ask the question about what laws overlap for each issue?
