I am Mark Rosst, developer of Structural Deep Democracy(SD2), which is a Social Network Optimization approach to democratic-republicanism. SD2 uses PageRank as a centrality algorithm to analyze votes to determine the center of TRUST and CONSENT in a human trust network. The top three or five lead such an organization with one of them as the executive. This creates a small and efficient locus of trust and accountability to lead the organization.

PageRank allows the best leaders to determine who the best leaders are, eliminating the popularity game of conventional populistic-democracy. SD2 can be used by nonprofits, businesses, government entities, but it is intended to be best for grass-roots activism for groups thirty or more, and is scalable to a global level.

SD2's assumptions are:

1. Solving world problems requires collective action

2. Collective action is best organized democraticly

3. Democracy is based on voting.

4. Votes are processed with *centrality algorithms*

5. Representitive democracy is based on the idea that, if given the opportunity, people generally vote for those more qualified than themselves.

6. The *centrality algorithm* that takes step #5 as many steps as mathematicly possible is PageRank.

7. SD2 uses PageRank to select three or five leaders of the group, then keeps those leaders accountable with frequent rank recalculations

PageRank: rank = (# of in-votes) X (avg. strength of in-vote), AND
strength of out-vote = rank / (# of out-votes)

"The results are amazingly accurate and display the inner dynamics of the group with astonishing accuracy...Nawab is next in seniority and first as a Technician. He definitely deserves centrality."
