Liquid Constitutionalism

Liquid Constitutionalism extends the idea of Liquid Democracy. Liquid Democracy lacks the idea of how laws will be crafted. Examples of Liquid Democracy assume that power of representation will flow but was invented in a time before computers. They still would "need to meet to talk about it and write it down."
Liquid Constitutionalism allows for version control of laws much like git and github manage version control during distributed, open-source software development.
Just like in liquid democracy I cannot write all of my own laws and should be able to delegate that to "those i trust." But if there are parts I want to edit, I should be allowed to edit, and have my voice be heard. If enough people make the same edit, or through some other "voting mechanism," then the edit "takes effect." What that means in practice should be discussed at length by the community.
Interesting video I found where google put together a trial of a fluid democracy voting system. They had some interesting 2nd order analysis that they were able to programmatically extract, once the system was working.
