E-Democracy and Decision Making

Aim: Building a system that permits any group of people to find an agreed answer to an open question. I have a number of paper in this topic, and it is here where I do the most of my work as consultant and speaker. I have developed (sometimes alone, sometimes in collaborations) a number of […]

Artificial Chemistries

My aim while studying Artificial Chemistries was to build a system that would evolve in a way similar, and not inferior to how Nature itself evolves. As such in a way only limited by the memory and the computation power of the medium used (i.e. the cpu where I would run the experiment). You can […]

Vilfredo

Vilfredo is a platform I developed with my friend Derek Paterson, to reach consensus on an open question. It works by asking everybody in a group to propose their answer to the question and evaluate each other answer. It then analyses the evaluations to extract a shortlist of proposals that are representative of all participants. […]

Let the DAO decide “how much”

I present a technique to make decisions in an online community. The technique is simple to use, trivial to understand, and can be applied to a well defined wide range class of questions. The result is both representatives of the desire of the community as well as it approximates an expert’s decision.

Risposta sulle CBDC: Central Bank Digital Currency

Emilio mi ha passato una domanda di un lettore del suo blog e ho risposto. Domanda: Egr. dott. Tomasini, le chiedo un parere sul ruolo che, in un prossimo futuro, avranno le CBDC, cioè la valute digitali che le banche centrali stanno preparando, probabilmente per avere un controllo definitivo sulla circolazione del denaro. Quale rischio […]

Paper: Structure and Hierarchy of Influenza Virus Models Revealed by Reaction Network Analysis

Abstract: Influenza A virus is recognized today as one of the most challenging viruses that threatens both human and animal health worldwide. Understanding the control mechanisms of influenza infection and dynamics is crucial and could result in effective future treatment strategies. Many kinetic models based on differential equations have been developed in recent decades to […]

Paper on Nature Scientific Report: Multi-scale stochastic organization-oriented coarse-graining exemplified on the human mitotic checkpoint

Abstract: The complexity of biological models makes methods for their analysis and understanding highly desirable. Here, we demonstrate the orchestration of various novel coarse-graining methods by applying them to the mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint. We begin with a detailed fine-grained spatial model in which individual molecules are simulated moving and reacting in a three-dimensional space. […]

Paper: The space of all proportional voting systems and the most majoritarian among them

Abstract: We present an alternative voting system that aims at bridging the gap between pro-portional representative systems and majoritarian electoral systems. The system lets people vote for multiple party lists, but then assigns each ballot paper to a single party. This opens a whole range of possible parliaments, all proportionally representative. We show theoretically that […]

The Proportional Majoritarian Voting System.

Many people consider electoral systems to be either Majoritarian or Proportionally Representative. And the two type of system to be mutually exclusive. But this was never proven, and for  a very good reason, they are not mutually exclusive. In this video I present a new voting system which is both Majoritarian and Proportional.
