 Our society can also be seen as a network where the computers are the people, the ethernet cables / wifi are the trust relations and the servers are the representers. Our society can also be seen as a network where the computers are the people, the ethernet cables / wifi are the trust relations and the servers are the representers.

 +//The Penrose method (or square-root method) is a method devised in 1946 by Professor Lionel Penrose for allocating the voting weights of delegations (possibly a single representative) in decision-making bodies proportional to the square root of the population represented by this delegation. //

 Let's immagine a non weighted liquidfeedback system where the 30.000 pirates of germany and the 10.000 pirates of the rest of the world can vote togheter. Of course germany would dominate the world! Let's immagine a non weighted liquidfeedback system where the 30.000 pirates of germany and the 10.000 pirates of the rest of the world can vote togheter.

-The solution to put in balance the groups avoiding greedy behaviours is to smooth their power by the inverse function of the square: **the square root**.+The solution to balance the groupsavoiding greedy behavioursis to smooth the power by using the inverse function of the square: **the square root**.
