论文摘要
考虑n个代理人形成平等，自治社区的代理商。他们的第一个任务是决定做出进一步决策的决策规则。我们从基于一组直觉和不言而喻的公理对决策过程的一般初始共识开始，并简化了有关代理人偏好的假设。从这些谦虚的开始中，我们得出了决策规则。至关重要的是，该决策规则还指定了如何更改或修改，从而充当事实上的宪法。我们的主要贡献是提供一个简单而直观的初始协议的示例，以及从逻辑上遵循的宪法。幼稚协议是关于决策的基本过程 - 代理人批准或不赞成建议；他们的投票决定了每个提案的接受或拒绝；在公理上，这是关于宪法的要求，该宪法产生了自我更新的决策过程。
Consider n agents forming an egalitarian, self-governed community. Their first task is to decide on a decision rule to make further decisions. We start from a rather general initial agreement on the decision-making process based upon a set of intuitive and self-evident axioms, as well as simplifying assumptions about the preferences of the agents. From these humble beginnings we derive a decision rule. Crucially, the decision rule also specifies how it can be changed, or amended, and thus acts as a de facto constitution. Our main contribution is in providing an example of an initial agreement that is simple and intuitive, and a constitution that logically follows from it. The naive agreement is on the basic process of decision making - that agents approve or disapprove proposals; that their vote determines either the acceptance or rejection of each proposal; and on the axioms, which are requirements regarding a constitution that engenders a self-updating decision making process.
