ABC Government

1. Summary

ABC is a social system aimed to be shared by numerous nations across the world, and the government module of ABC also is to be shared by those nations.

Let's take a moment and think about it. What kind of government can be shared or adopted by all nations whose cultures and systems are quite different one another? The only feasible one is unmanned and autonomous system.

Our goal is to code an autonomous government which will provide all kinds of public services to people regardless of their nationalities.

The three branches of a government are legislature, administration and judiciary. ABC is to transform most of them into online & unmanned systems, as it's the only governmental type for all the nations over the world can share and develop altogether.

• Coding a legislative system is a creative work.

• Coding a judiciary system is knowledge intensive.

• Coding an administration system is labor intensive.

We need some starting point, and the Jejudo Provincial Government can be used for that. Our aim is to convert all kinds of public services in Jejudo into an unmanned system, which can be utilized by other nations afterwards.

1. Jejudo, Korea

It's located at the southmost of the Korean peninsula, with population of 700,000[Wikipedia].

• One provincial government[도청], two city halls[시청], and about 100 county offices[읍면동 사무소], where 6,000+ public officials work.

• One district court with 300+ public officials.

• One regional government complex where regional branches of the central government of Korea are located, where700+ public officials work.

Our goal is to convert them into autonomous online government.

2. ABC Pilot City

How do you know if your system will work as intended? It cannot be expected that the current Jeju-do government will replace the current organization with the government module of the ABC system, which we will be coding soon.

Our plan is to apply the ABC system to the brand-new city, ABC Pilot City.

2. ABC Legislature

It's the basis of any government, and however trivial it is, everything of the city is done in law. For example, whether a bicycle can run on the roads together with autonomous cars, what kinds of laundry detergents are to be used, when the grass of the specific park is to be mown etc.

• Any citizen or legal entity may propose a law: Even a car may does.

• A proposed law is reviewed by citizens. When it gets sufficient upvotes, it becomes a formal proposal and undergoes a formal voting procedure.

1. Formal Voting Procedure

The board of law, composed of a few erected citizens, determines what kind of law it is, who will participate in the vote, when and how the voted will be done etc.

• After the decision of the board get predetermined level of upvotes from citizens, the decision is executed.

• If a proposal gets predetermined level of upvotes from the voting group, it becomes enacted, and everyone should keep the new law.

2. Various Proposals and Voting Groups

Classifying various proposals into different categories and allocating a voting group to each proposal is a subtle and advanced topic.

• The city knows who have what kind of skills and knowledges. So, it can classify all the citizens into a few groups in which members share some common traits. This process can be done via well known machine learning techniques such as Logistic Regression. Naive Bayes. K-Nearest Neighbors. Decision Tree, and Support Vector Machines.

• All proposals also can be classified into a series of groups using current code of laws.

The problem to solve is how to match between proposal groups and voting groups. That's what we do.

3. Different Voting Powers

Most types of modern democracy are based on One Person One Vote. It's simple and convenient. But, from time to time, it leads to idiocracy or kleptocracy.

Again, the city classifies the citizens into dozens of groups according to their ages, knowledges, tax contributions, criminal history etc, and give different voting power to the citizens according to which group he or she belongs to. It's natural and reasonable to grant more voting power to more skilled and knowledgeable citizens than those not.

The problem is to decide how large the gap of voting powers among different groups. One suggestion is to grant voting power to the topmost group twice of the bottommost group. For example;

• Set five categories to classify citizens' voting powers: age, education, tax contribution, criminal records, and job history.

• Classify citizens into 10 groups on each category from topmost to bottommost. So, each citizen belongs to 10 groups by 10 categories.

• On each category, grant two voting power to the topmost and one to the bottommost.

• Average the 10 voting powers of the 10 categories to determine the voting power of a citizen.

So, theoretically, the gap between maximum possible voting power and minimum one is 20 times. This is to transfer the voting powers of influential politicians to common citizens because, in current democratic systems over the world, those political leaders have actually more than 1 million voting powers.

3. ABC Judiciary

The second axis of democracy is legal justice. As mentioned above, everything in the city is based on law, even trivial ones such as how much salt should be added on fried eggs.

In essence, the judiciary system is a kind of minor legislature. It legislates new provisions based on preexisting provisions of the law .

The judiciary system is to select one "TRUE" statement between two or more contradictory statement, and the basis of dividing true and false is a series of statements called "provisions of the law".

Facts are premises and judgements are conclusions. In other words, conclusions are just extensions of premises.

ABC is a mechanism and system to record everything and every event. Those records are facts, and judgements are based on those facts. Therefore, more than 99% of current legal disputes are improbable to arise in ABC because there can be no dispute on facts and because most conclusions are automatically derived from facts.

The problem is how to settle down the rest 1% of disputes in which conclusions or judgements can't be derived formally, that is, when it's not possible to "literally" judge which statement is true between two contradictory arguments just based on facts.

Our suggestion is to utilize current legal system, jury and judge, and ML technologies.

1. Jury and Judge

When a dispute is not automatically resolved, a jury is assembled and one or more judges are allocated to the case based on the type and characteristics of the case.

• Using current provisions of the law, all disputing cases are classified into one legal field such as taxation.

• Citizens are classified into dozens or hundreds of different populations of legal fields.

• Based on the characteristics of the case, a jury is assembled by sampling from a specific population, and one or more judges are allocated.

2. Machine Learning

ML also can be and should be applied to disputes. It's a quite advanced topic and dealt in depth at the law school of ABC.

4. ABC Administration

Administration is the third and the least important of the three axes of democracy. It's an execution of law. Making an administration part of a government is quite labor intensive works as its size is many times larger than that of judiciary and legislative. We hope ABC administration replace or substitute current governments of various nations.

Below are some examples.

1. ABC Tax Service

It's unmanned version of current national tax services such as Korea National Tax Service(국세청) and Internal Revenue Service(US IRS). The ABC tax service is a submodule of ABC Bank.

Our solution is to integrate taxation processes into transactions in markets.

• The tax service automatically involves in every transaction by authorizing it. That is, without the approval of the tax service, the transaction amount can't be paid.

• The tax rates for each product and each citizen are predefined by the ABC legislature.

See ABC Taxation for details.

2. ABC Intellectual Property Office(AIPO)

It's unmanned version of patent offices such as Korean Intellectual Property Office(한국 특허청). According to WIPO, In principle, the patent owner has the exclusive right to prevent or stop others from commercially exploiting the patented invention. In other words, patent protection means that the invention cannot be commercially made, used, distributed, imported or sold by others without the patent owner's consent. The requirements of a patent is simple: novelty and inventive[Link].

• Applications of intellectual properties are submitted(= committed) to the AIPO.

• The AIPO decides whether an application is to be granted an exclusive right or not.

See ABC Intellectual Property Office for detail.

3. ABC City Office

Nations which have adopted ABC has only one local administration office: city office(시청). There is no county offices(읍면동 사무소), local governments or province offices(도청).

It's an unmanned online system. See ABC City Office for details.

4. ABC Fire and Disaster Prevention Agency

It's automated version of current 911 services such as Korea Fire and Disaster Prevention Agency(소방방재청)

5. Fire and Disaster Prevention Agency

6. Economy

7. Industry

5. Public Cooperations

1. Health Insurance Corporation

2. Land & Housing Corporation

3. Energy Corporation

4. Water Resource Corporation
