Policies tell you what should happen. Protocols constrain what can happen. We wrote a book chapter on engineering institutions through Lyapunov stability—operationalizable guarantees, not just good intentions. zenodo.org/records/1512...

Protocols and Institutions

This paper is a pre-print of a book chapter that explores the relationship between protocols and institutions through the lens of control systems engineering. Cross-referencing concepts from Instituti...

Block Diagrams for Categorical Cybernetics

Block Diagrams play a central role in the design and analysis of complex engineered systems, in large part due to their capacity to represent causal flow of mat

Algorithms aren't neutral truth-tellers—they're perspectives shaped by design choices, just like cameras. What is the apparatus leaving out? Whose choices shaped it? blog.block.science/an-algorithm...

Revisiting The Santa Protocol 🧑‍🎄 after the holidays changes how it reads. Santa is not the claim. He is the worked example. Once you recognize the institutional architecture, you start seeing it everywhere. Low-stakes entry. Serious implications. 📃 bit.ly/49iBsw9

In this article, Zargham explores Architecting Knowledge Organization Infrastructure (KOI) from a systems engineering perspective, moving across layers of abstraction and showing how communities can design, implement and govern their knowledge systems. Read: bit.ly/4nQEYlV

📃New publication from BSci collaborators: “Attention in Governance” — with Kelsie Nabben, Nathan Schneider, Ronen Tamari & Michael Zargham. We explore attention as a scarce resource in digital governance and propose heuristics to analyze how it shapes participation. Read 👉 osf.io/preprints/me...

What our team reads off the clock → survival games with LLM agents. Thanks Octopus 🐙 for surfacing. Scarcity makes agents selfish & unsafe. Add a simple guilt/satisfaction signal & cooperation jumps 10× while harmful actions drop by half. That’s a governance lesson too. 🔗 arxiv.org/abs/2509.12190
