The Initial Design refers not to the original construction of Slab (for that see Original Design) but to the political, social and economic structures that define the way Slab is organised[1].
This article is a brief summary only and by no means a definitive document. This is because the exact details are only available to SlabCouncil members. The confidentially of these details was part of the Initial Design[2].
Political Structure
Benevolent dictatorship (Sis) moderated by SlabCouncil.
In order to avoid the furtherance of corrupt, ego-driven, power-seeking politicians who have dominated most of human history, all power is devolved to anonymous individuals and expert systems.
Motto; 'the person who wants to should be the last who's allowed to.
SlabCouncil
Council is comprised of an Intern steering committee of voluntary, anonymous, peer-group approved humans[3] along with an matching number of NAH representatives with full autonomy.
While SlabCouncil are tasked with steering the ideology and ethical direction of all Sis-made decisions, they are allowed to consult the SlabCitizens by instantaneous Slabwide referenda which are carried out by a Sis-monitored eye poll.
SlabPresidency
The Slab President is chosen by Sis-managed open lottery[4] and lasts for a maximum term of 10 cykes. All citizens over the age of 61 cykes and of certified mental stability (Sis mediated) are elegible but it is the right of every SlabCitizen to withdraw their doNames from the ballot.
Economic Systems
Capitalism - ExTax - State support.
Social
Equal rights for all (inc. Unkos). Liberal society. NaniState Zone 61.
Modifications
The ID has been modified only four times PD - each modification except the first one requiring 80% SlabCouncil approval.
ID 1.1 : majority vote to modify the ID changed from 51% to 80% ID 1.2 : Intern identities became anonymous ID 1.3 : multiple changes in response to enemy attack ID 1.4 : in progress
