<p><b>Abstract.</b>{' '}
A fully decentralised, privacy-preserving and politically neutral tech
stack would provide the necessary support for self-sovereign virtual territories.
Recent breakthroughs in distributed systems, leaderless consensus algorithms
and ZK encryption provide the technical foundation that makes such a base layer
possible. By using these technologies to build solutions for communications,
storage and smart contracts, we can incentivise the formation of borderless
public institutions based on voluntary consent. This opens the possibility for
a culture of resilient parallel societies that maximise the costs of surveillance
and oppression, while minimising the costs of exit, voice and loyalty. Doing
this requires a resilient grassroots movement to govern and sustain the network,
thereby providing trust-minimized, corruption-resistant governing services and
social institutions to underserved citizens.

<p>In a world in which our lives are increasingly digital and borderless, the bureaucratic institutions of the state have been left behind, incapable of providing a
peaceful order. The Westphalian system that birthed the nation state is struggling
to keep up with a multi-polar, interconnected world. In this paradigm shift, the
supra-national global elite is cannibalising its citizens and the fiat monetary
system is collapsing in real time</p>
<p>We see this as the terminal phase of the Western project, a time of debt slavery,
war, displacement, manipulation, corruption, broken ecosystems, widespread
surveillance, nihilist values, socialised impoverishment and bipartisan tyranny.
Across the world, we are sleepwalking into a series of interdependent catastrophes, the likes of which have not been in witnessed in generations. While most
believe the situation is hopeless, we know it is not.</p>
<p>To prove it, we are declaring independence from this dying order, reopening the
frontier and establishing Logos, a self-sovereign network state founded on the
solid ground of liberty, security, privacy, openness and decentralisation. Logos
is the ancient Greek concept for the connection between language, reason and
the order of the universe. To us, it represents a group of thinkers and builders
searching for this immanent truth through dialogue, forming a global nation of
shared values and like-minded peers.</p>
<p>Our vision is to harness the transformational power of discovering together,
building on our deep urge to invent and imagine a world beyond the tyrannical
structures of the decaying status quo. Our mission is neither optional nor guided
by chance, it is born out of necessity: we are at the critical juncture where the
old system meets the new tools built to replace it, and we see no choice but to
use them for our collective liberation. We know success is inevitable.</p>
<p>We offer those who join us a liberated territory in cyberspace to interact freely
in a passionate and respectful manner. To achieve this independence of the mind
and body, we are building a versatile and powerful toolkit. The magic of
cryptography gives us privacy, while the resilience of blockchains allows for
global, coordinated, coercion-resistant institutions.</p>
<p>These cutting-edge tools are designed to protect our basic rights from oppression, giving our citizens ownership of these technologies, a voice in their governance and the opportunity to make a difference. We offer meaning in a world
starved of it. We were there at the beginning, when Bitcoin proved this dream
was possible. We share its ethos and extend its properties to a user-owned,
self-sovereign network state.
<p>Every once in a while, a revolutionary idea appears that alters the fabric of our
societies. The accompanying behaviours and technologies do not occur by chance;
they are the aggregation of ancient trends and the inventiveness of millions. Language,
agriculture, parliaments, the printing press, networked computing, blockchains, and
artificial intelligence all transformed our world forever, rearranging human societies
with a vision for the future. Today, we are bringing forth such a vision.</p>

<p>What does a world where we succeed look like? What will daily life be like in the
network state and how do we solve the problems our citizens face? </p>
<p>In our world, your life is as private as you want it to be. We are not the first to
argue that privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy
is not secrecy, it is a fundamental right.</p>
<p>In our world, you own the services you use, no matter if you drive a taxi, start
companies or organise politically. You own your information, your apps, your
marketplaces and your assets. This means a voice in their governance and a stake
in their success.</p>
<p>In our world, the rule of law is transparent, fair and the true basis of our wealth.
Our accessible governance system means transactions cost a fraction of what
they do in the captured legacy bureaucracy, courts are trustworthy and mediation is minimal.</p>
<p>In our world we have a transparent, self-sovereign monetary policy that serves
the interests of our citizens.</p>
<p>In our world assets are sovereign and secure, protected legally and
technologically, from outside and within. Logos is a digital Switzerland of the
electronic age.</p>
<p>In our world culture is free, forkable and open. Freedom of expression is guaranteed by our underlying technology. If you do not agree with what you have
consented to, you are always free to leave or remix.</p>
<p>In our world hegemony is replaced by a plurality of heterogenous communities,
sharing a culture of voluntary consent. Hegemony is not only oppressive but
inefficient, stifling creativity and limiting the potential for discovery. Logos is the
next step in the evolution of society, from warlike and poverty-stricken
barbarism to a prosperous civilisation of voluntary harmony. </p>
<p>In our world the answers will not come from one person, one institution or one
group. We believe the smallest minority is the individual, and no individual is
untouched by the experience, cultures and relations they are party to. Hence we
enable plurality instead of tolerating or censoring it.</p>
<p>In our world people are not atomised and treated as machines, because people,
not machines, are at the centre of what we envision.</p>
