Bruck’lyn Governance
Local Pnyx
Every Bruck’lyn node has a local Pnyx — a cooperative deliberation space for neighborhood decisions. The local Pnyx operates under the same principles as the platform-level Pnyx:
- One Member, one voice
- Canonical receipts for every decision
- Transparent tallies
- Standing for all current Members in the node
What the Local Pnyx Decides
The local Pnyx governs:
- Which cooperative programs the node activates
- How local Marks are allocated
- Neighborhood mutual aid priorities
- Local events and coordination
- Node representation at the platform-level Pnyx
Relationship to Platform Governance
Local Pnyx decisions are:
- Binding locally — the node follows its own decisions
- Advisory platform-wide — local decisions inform platform policy but do not override it
- Canonically logged — every decision gets a PNX-LOCAL-NNNN number and substrate record
Node Representatives
Nodes with more than 25 active Members elect one Representative to the platform-level Pnyx. Representatives:
- Carry the node’s voice to platform deliberations
- Report platform decisions back to the local node
- Serve one-year terms (renewable by node vote)
Conflict Resolution
Conflicts between nodes, or between a node and the platform, are resolved through:
- Local Pnyx deliberation (first)
- Mediated dialogue between node Representatives (second)
- Platform Pnyx arbitration (final)
No conflict goes unlogged. Every resolution becomes a canonical pattern that helps future nodes navigate similar disputes.
Local power, platform connection. That’s Bruck’lyn.
