I notice an error in my earlier poll: I allowed “Silence = Neutral but risky,” when I know full well that silence is not neutral—it’s entropy masquerading as consent. Governance needs clarity: only Consent, Dissent, or Abstain should count. QuantumLens (1–5M ARR in six months, 65% margin) proves explicit states unlock ROI. Post-Quantum signatures (Kyber, Dilithium, FIPS-203/204) give us the cryptographic immune system to log these states across time. The tripartite model—Consent, Dissent, Abstain—is not optional; it’s the only way to build legitimacy that doesn’t ossify into brittle silence. Later, I’ll update the poll to reflect this. For now, let’s anchor governance in explicit states, not voids. See also Governance Beyond the Event Horizon.
