Conflict Resolution

Level 2: Community Mediation

Level 3: Anchor Arbitration

Level 4: Council Judgment

Common Conflicts

Conflict Type Typical Cause Resolution Approach
Milestone Disputes Unclear success criteria Better documentation
Communication Breakdown Unmet expectations Regular check-ins
Resource Conflicts Budget overruns Transparent accounting
Timeline Issues Unrealistic deadlines Collaborative replanning
Quality Disagreements Subjective standards Clear metrics upfront

Network Effects

How Interactions Scale

Network Value Calculation:

  • Each role creates value: Senders² + Echoes² + Anchors²
  • Cross-role interactions multiply: Senders × Echoes + Senders × Anchors + Echoes × Anchors
  • Total network value: Role value × Interaction multiplier
  • Result: Exponential growth as ecosystem expands

Example: 100 Senders + 1000 Echoes + 50 Anchors = 150,000 base value × 155,000 interactions = 23.25M network value units

Emergent Behaviors

Positive Emergent Patterns

  • Reputation Networks: Trust builds exponentially
  • Knowledge Sharing: Collective intelligence emerges
  • Innovation Clusters: Similar ventures collaborate
  • Mentorship Chains: Successful founders become Anchors
  • Investment Syndicates: Echoes coordinate strategies
