VOTING IS MORE OF A RITUAL – AN ACT OF FAITH
VOTING IS 21ST CENTURY FORM OF RELIGIOUS PRAYEER
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different outcome…
(ATTRIBUTED TO ALBERT EINSTEIN)
SO WE RANT TO ONE AANOTHER ON SOCIAL MEDIA
WE MARCH IN THE STREET IN PROTEST
Democracy depends on informed consensus in a voting group that shares common needs, living experience, values and interdependence.
Journalism involves informing this community about things that are salient to common interests with fidelity to a local audience, even when subjects are of wider, even global concern.
Consensus in other communities about global subjects is salient to all communities, for example, climate change and economics.
Consensus in other communities, as well as in the local audience is salient, thus journalism must be able to measure and report consensus in each community as well as among all communities.

POLITICAL elements
AI AUTOMATED REPORTS OF CONSENSUS
KEEPING POLITICIANS HONEST
COMMUNITY-OWNED
An OYG supported community is a self-identifying geographic part of a city, region, state or nation. Residents log into a community's OYG platform with a smart phone or browser. Neighborhood OYG affiliates may provide cost-free smartphones or tablets.
Security
A community's OYG platform exists as encrypted data in redundant servers, with strong privacy protection of personal information, voting data and outcome of polls, using security procedures equal to financial institutions.
VERIFIED CONSENSUS
Every registered member on a community platform may post a poll to the community. When responses to the poll reach a statistically relevant threshhold, consensus is reported to media, and government officials.

OYG DATA
Backend technologies
Privacy and Blockchain
We use Blockchain to protect identities and ensure the integrity of poll results, digitally-signed documents, chat history and video recordings from theft, corruption, ransomware, and loss. Historical data and legal documents are protected with bank-level encryption and a tamper-proof checksum hash.
NLP
We use NLP to parse poll questions and apply semantic similarity to find similar issues being polled in other communities to derive broader consensus on import issues. We use AI on chat posts and comments to detect offensive or vulgar language, and attributes such as tension, anger, ad hominem speech, as well as non-factual assertions.
Decentralized Architecture
Each community runs on its own server node or “instance” with inter-regional data redundancy. This allows our platform to redeploy the instance quickly and automatically in another data center, if the original node goes down due to network latency, regional downtime, data corruption or a network attack.
