Scale incrementally destroys calculability(causality, auditability and accountability), ergo the only possible method of solving the problem of scale is a hierarchical division of political knowledge and labor, and a purely empirical and transparent method of accounting.

While the technology for such accounting has only recently been possible, the left has opposed it because they cannot survive tests of causality and accountability. The math is pretty simple. Even with fiat money and fiat credit exaggerating employment, the number of people who cannot produce enough market returns to (a) own a home or apartment, (b) form and persist a marriage or family, and therefore accumulate capital, plus the decline in real income independent of price declines from shipping production overseas, provides us with empirical evidence of who is a viable and who is an unviable member of any polity. So the left fears it.

That said, neighborhood, town/city, county/region/district, state/provinces, super-regional federations, and imperial federations, can all cooperate and resolve by trade negotiation what federal governments solve by forcible redistribution. That the superior organization is an intertemporal one (private polities run by persistent families) rather than a temporal one (elected officials) is probably obvious now that we have more than a century of experience with electoral governments of full enfranchisement.

I might suggest we return to mixing the two models as in the parliamentary system, with a monarchy, regional nobility, and ‘digital’ markets for commons, where we divide up the classes. But my opinion is that the highest possible level where democracy has any merit is the regional. Beyond that commons are no longer ‘common’.
