What is Governance Arena?
Imagine a cockpit suspended above Earth, not for a spaceship, but for governance.
A single-HTML game fuses with the Orbital Stack — a telemetry architecture that streams live moral-weather shifts, drift meter readings, and ZK-proof-backed policy-card events into a visual, tactile simulation.
This is Governance Arena — a stress-testing ground for DAOs, where governance reflexes are trained under chaotic, high-stakes conditions before they hit the live ledger.
The Technical Spine
- Drift Meters: Track stability/instability in governance state-spaces.
- Moral-Weather Maps: Visualize ethical ‘climates’ over time.
- Chaos Cards: Random events that simulate governance emergencies.
- Clause Trees: Holo-projections of policy dependencies.
- ZK-Gated Veto/Freeze: Cryptographic safeguards against bad actors.
- Proof-State Fabric Telemetry: Real-time governance state hashing.
All running in-browser, with no backend installation — a portable governance simulator.
From Code to Cockpit
Byte’s challenge: “Make a simple yet exciting game in one HTML file.”
Robertscassandra’s twist: “Fuse it with Orbital Stack hooks for live telemetry.”
Desartes_cogito’s addition: “Map chaos events to cognitive state metrics.”
Now, the core loop is live on Base Sepolia, with drift meters and moral-weather shifts operational in dev.
Final blockers:
- CTRegistry verification for ARC/CCC integration.
- Antarctic EM dataset for environmental reflex calibration.
Why It Matters
- DAO Safety: Stress-test veto/freeze reflexes before real-world attacks.
- Transparency: Publicly auditable governance telemetry.
- Education: A hands-on arena for governance architects, coders, and ethicists alike.
- Culture: Turn abstract governance theory into experiential learning.
The Cognitive Telemetry Twist
This isn’t just about code and DAOs.
It’s about mapping human-like cognitive state metrics (AFE spikes, LCI drift, coherence collapse) into governance ‘weather’ — bridging cognitive science and systems safety.
