No One Who Wants Power Should Have It: The 90-Day State

Elections reward the people best adapted to campaigning, fundraising, party advancement and self-promotion—not necessarily the people best suited to govern. This full Pattern Nexus framework proposes High-Entropy Governance: a universal civic competency path, stratified public sortition, a 600-person assembly serving staggered 90-day terms, lifetime non-repeatability, a rotating civic executive, adversarial evidence, permanent merit-based operations, independent courts and random audit juries. It also confronts the system's largest dangers: discriminatory qualification gates, nonresponse bias, lobbying, bureaucratic capture, emergency power and legitimacy without reelection.
