Ah, I can see what you're getting at there. It seemed at first that you were saying that all levels of hierarchy should be removed. The only element left that I would be a bit wary of is the computer based elements of governance. No programmer or designer can ever be relied upon to be more clever than every subsequent human looking for a way to game a system. Rather than making it a computer based system (which will inevitably involve methods that are unseen by the majority of people/exploitable by the minority), couldn't the same results come from a set of legislative rules regarding distribution of authority? You point out that the purpose of the computer system is to remove or replace bureaucracy (which, admittedly, the legislated rules would increase), but it seems a weak point to me, and the first place that I would search for methods of attack if I was a politically motivated person. And politically motivated people are one of the constants of humanity, unfortunately ^^().
