CYSOCIETY / THE CIVILIZATION BLUEPRINT
Principles need
workable arrangements.
Design briefs that examine what a proposal asks people to do, who holds authority and how its consequences could be evaluated.
CURRENT STAGE: CONCEPT & DESIGN
Six design briefs are available for examination. Each defines a bounded proposal, its responsibilities, limitations and a possible evaluation. These are concept-stage models, not completed institutions or validated interventions.

HOW TO EXAMINE A BRIEF
Ask what would make it fail.
Begin with the intended outcome. Trace the resources, authority and assumptions needed to produce it. Identify who may be excluded, what a participant must give up and how a mistake could be corrected. A proposal becomes more useful when its limitations are explicit enough to test.
