Thank you for your thoughtful comments and link to this page.

My first thought to this article is that it seems to be using terminology of a sociologist. The theorems of Trust Irrelevance, Autocatytic Inevitablity, and Phase Transition are way over my head. So I'm a reluctant to comment directly on this article.

Indirectly, I can comment somewhat wisely.

As you know, current democracies were built with little knowledge of sociology and psychology. Those sciences were not well developed in the 19th century.

I anticipate that, at some future time, these sciences will want to study the TDG. I believe that will happen with the TDG reaches its "middle stage." And the TDG is not at the early stage yet, so we are at least four years away.

Will the academics provide useful insight to help the TDG improve itself? That is hard to say. At this middle stage, the TDG should have its new culture well in place. If so, the academics will mostly be explaining to the public why the TDG works as well as it does.

On another matter, if you have some insights for the TDG to reach a tipping point, I would appreciate hearing about them.
