Electoral Check and Balance

There is one more important reason for implementing the double-log formula into Consensus.

Imagine that Consensus finds itself with $5,000,000 in its bank account. Such funds would be a target for an unscrupulous organization to take control of Consensus. If Consensus uses a one member = one vote system, it would not be that difficult for such an organization to get that money. Here's how:

Just before the election to the low ring, the organization could create thousands of new profiles, most likely not representing real people or organizations. Those profiles are going to vote for their kind of members into. The unscrupulous organization gains a majority in the low ring.

Six months later, that low ring majority moves enough of its members into a high ring majority. The new rulers decide that Consensus needs some new software. They know the software company that can get the job done, and pay a $5,000,000 bill to that company. You get the picture.

Rather than concocting a whole bunch of rules to prevent such corruption, the double-log formula discourages such an invasion of false profiles into Consensus. The unscrupulous organization would realize that the older/more active profiles of Consensus would have much more Influence than the false profiles. The false profiles would have little effect on the electoral results, making such a take-over a waste of time for the unscrupulous organization.
