Robin Asby: From my studies and engagement it seems to me that the evidence is that in the great majority of cases the systems of national government currently operating are failing. I therefore explore the consequences of using the principles developed in the previous chapters to design guidelines for a Process Systemic Democracy. Lastly I explore the implications of the sub-optimisation theorem, how can we avoid sub-systems seeking to optimise their wellbeing, wealth, or any other variable at the expense of other sub-systems.
