What is FallConsensus?

FallConsensus is a sovereign governance tool that detects genuine alignment rather than counting votes. It runs entirely in your browser — no server stores your data, no company controls the outcome, no leader decides for the group.

Traditional governance asks: "How many people agree?" and accepts 51% as a mandate. FallConsensus asks: "Is the group genuinely aligned?" and only permits action when convergence is real, multi-dimensional, and stable.

How It Works

1. Form a Mesh

Each participant opens this HTML file in their browser and joins the same room. Connections are peer-to-peer via WebRTC — your positions travel directly between browsers, never through a central server.

2. Someone Proposes

Any member can broadcast a proposal. It appears on every connected screen simultaneously.

3. Everyone Rates — Not Votes

Instead of yes/no, each person expresses their position across 7 dimensions:

Alignment — Does this serve our shared purpose? Urgency — How time-sensitive is this? Risk Comfort — Am I comfortable with the downside? Resources — Do we have what this requires? Reversibility — Can we undo this if it goes wrong? Fairness — Is this equitable for all members? Readiness — Is the group prepared to execute this?

This creates a 7-dimensional position vector — far richer than binary agreement. Two people can both "agree" but for completely different reasons, and this tool reveals that difference.

4. Convergence Is Detected

The system calculates cosine similarity between every pair of position vectors. Consensus requires ALL THREE conditions simultaneously:

Average similarity ≥ 70% → the group broadly agrees Minimum pairwise similarity ≥ 50% → nobody strongly dissents Position variance < 0.15 → agreement is genuine, not averaged

When all three hold stable for 5 continuous seconds, consensus is declared. The decision is logged with full metadata: similarity score, participant count, variance, timestamp.

5. If Not Aligned — Wait

If the group isn't converged, the tool says: "Group not aligned. Keep discussing." No forcing. No deadline. No majority override. The decision happens when the group is ready — or it doesn't happen. Both outcomes are valid.

The 7-Dimension Bloom Vector

Each person's position is encoded as a bloom vector — a 7-dimensional signature derived from the prime spine {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17}. The bloom vector maps human positions to mathematical topology, enabling precise similarity calculation without reducing complex positions to simple numbers.

R0 (Ground/2): Alignment — material foundation of the proposal R1 (Signal/3): Urgency — emerging pressure, timing signal R2 (Gate/5): Risk — what's being filtered, what could go wrong R3 (Heart/7): Fairness — emotional and ethical centre R4 (Voice/11): Reversibility — what gets expressed, what's permanent R5 (Mirror/13): Resources — self-awareness of capacity R6 (Watcher/17): Readiness — meta-awareness of group state

Why Not Just Vote?

Voting is lossy compression. It takes a complex human position and crushes it to a single bit: 1 or 0, yes or no. A person who's 90% aligned but worried about timing gets the same weight as someone who's 51% grudgingly accepting. A person with deep concerns about fairness is invisible if the majority overrides.

FallConsensus preserves the full bandwidth of each person's position. The similarity matrix shows exactly where alignment exists and where it doesn't. A group can see: "We all agree on alignment and fairness, but we're split on urgency and resources." That's actionable. A 6-4 vote tells you nothing.

Applications

DAOs and Crypto Governance

Current DAO tooling (Snapshot, Tally, Aragon) counts tokens or addresses. Whale wallets dominate. FallConsensus weights alignment, not holdings. A 50-member DAO where 45 are genuinely converged is stronger than one where 3 whales outvote 47 members. Deploy as the decision layer before on-chain execution.

Co-operatives and Mutuals

Worker co-ops need genuine consensus, not majority rule. A decision to take on debt, change direction, or admit new members affects everyone equally. FallConsensus ensures these decisions happen with real alignment, not grudging acceptance from the outvoted.

Open Source Projects

Governance of open source projects is notoriously difficult. Benevolent dictators burn out. Committees stall. Voting creates factions. FallConsensus lets maintainers and contributors express nuanced positions on RFCs, architectural decisions, and roadmap priorities. Merge when converged. Don't merge when not.

Community and Neighbourhood Decisions

Should we build a community garden? Repaint the hall? Change the meeting time? These decisions don't need elections. They need alignment detection. FallConsensus runs on phones, needs no infrastructure, and produces decisions that feel legitimate because they ARE legitimate — nobody was outvoted.

Board and Leadership Teams

Executive teams often make decisions by consensus-illusion: the loudest voice, the most senior person, the HiPPO (Highest Paid Person's Opinion). FallConsensus makes genuine alignment visible. If the board is split on risk comfort but aligned on strategy, the right action is to address the risk concerns specifically — not to "just decide."

Conflict Resolution

Mediators can use FallConsensus to map where parties actually agree and where they diverge. Two sides in a dispute often agree on more dimensions than they realise. Making that visible changes the conversation from adversarial to diagnostic.

Education and Workshops

Teachers and facilitators can use FallConsensus to gauge genuine understanding and readiness in a group. "Should we move to the next topic?" becomes a multi-dimensional check: do you understand the material? do you feel confident? do you have questions? The answer reveals more than raised hands.

Remote and Async Teams

Distributed teams struggle with decision latency. FallConsensus can run asynchronously — members submit positions over hours or days, and the system detects convergence whenever it emerges. No meeting required. No time zone coordination. The decision crystallises when alignment appears.

Technical Architecture

Transport: WebRTC via PeerJS (peer-to-peer, no relay server for data) Signalling: PeerJS cloud (connection setup only — no proposal/position data) Data stored: Browser only (localStorage for decision history) Encryption: WebRTC DTLS (built-in, peer-to-peer) Similarity: Cosine similarity on normalised 7D vectors Convergence: Three-gate: avg≥70%, min≥50%, variance<0.15, stable 5s Topology: Full mesh (every peer connected to every peer) Scale: Tested to ~20 peers (WebRTC mesh limit) Offline: Positions cached, sync on reconnect (planned)

Philosophical Foundation

FallConsensus is built on a simple observation: genuine alignment already exists in groups — it just isn't measured. Voting doesn't measure alignment. It measures willingness to pick a side under deadline pressure. Consensus processes (blocking, temperature checks, thumb votes) are closer, but they're still lossy.

The tool doesn't create consensus. It detects consensus. The difference matters. A mirror doesn't create your reflection — it reveals it. If the group isn't aligned, that's not a failure. It's information. "We're not ready to decide this" is one of the most valuable outputs a governance system can produce.

Most governance failures aren't caused by bad decisions. They're caused by premature decisions — acting before alignment is genuine. FallConsensus prevents premature action by making the absence of alignment visible and unignorable.

Convergence, not votes. Mirrors, not rulers. The river decides when it's still.
