Note: i am thinking about changing the name to Nexus Democracy, Convergence democracy, Liquid Republic, or something similiar.

Fluid Democracy is a procedure and structure for democratic group decision-making. Fluid Democracy is generic; it can be used for any sort of group, be it a small nonprofit organization, a large corporation, an online community, a commune, or a government. Fluid Democracy is scalable; it can be used for small groups or for very large ones.

Why Fluid Democracy?

Status

A summary may be found at The Short Version.

The full version is at The Long Version.

An explanation of why AC is the way it is, in the form of a FAQ, is at commentary.

I might change the name to Amendable Code or Convergence Ruleset.

Fluid Democracy is currently just a proposal. To date, it has never been tried, and it has really only been examined in depth by me, so it probably has many flaws.

Documents relating to outdated, older version

I have finished writing the first draft of most of the core bylaws of Fluid Democracy.

The addendums for various applications have not yet been written.
