A fascinating article, especially for someone deeply interested in the structure and functioning of societal processes--to include the political process, which for any community of human beings (including any blockchain community) is the process of effecting choices for the community as a whole, with effecting a (its) constitution (written or not) being one such choice. A community's constitution, written or not, conveys a principle of governance.

For geopolitical communities justice is the ultimate principle of governance. It would seem that blockchain--a subject in which I am woefully ignorant--achieves a form of justice that is akin to 'the Natural Law' in philosophy due to its inherent nature as a process: respect for its given nature is what justice (in that context) is.
