The core principle is the concept of a "central codebase" in the form of a set of policies that are maintained in a public registry and that are ''infinitely reproducible''. " Distributions " of this policy-base are periodically released for use in localities, which can apply "patches" to customize them for their own use. Localities are also able to cease subscribing to the central policy-base and "fork" it or adopt someone else's policy-base. In effect, the government stems from emergent cooperation and self-correction among members of a community. As the policies are put into practice in a number of localities, problems and issues are identified and solved, and where appropriate communicated back to the core. SEE ALSO
