Perspective Plane

Positions are plotted by domain contributions along two axes: X = Commons → Commerce, Y = Club → Crown. Use the Equalize button to reset domain weights to 1, then move sliders (when present) to see how weighting shifts the position. Toggle layer visibility (Countries, US Parties, CoCivium modes) to compare groupings. Click a dot to see per-domain notes & sources.

This Perspective Plane compares how countries tend to coordinate civic and economic life relative to CoCivium’s strawman best-practice. It’s a two-axis map, useful for contrasting patterns rather than arguing left↔right: the X-axis spans Commons to Commerce, and the Y-axis spans Club to Crown. Use the panel to toggle layers (e.g., Countries) and explore differences. You can later wire in your own sources per dot.

What is the Perspective Plane?

What’s being compared? Countries’ overall tendencies (today) vs CoCivium’s strawman best-practice.

X-axis: Commons ↔ Commerce — shows how a country balances shared-resource stewardship and market-first production & exchange.
Y-axis: Club ↔ Crown — shows whether a country tends toward voluntary/peer associations or central authority/state instruments for coordination.
Dots are composite positions from multiple domains (economy, institutions, knowledge, ecology, etc.).
Controls: Toggle layers (e.g., Countries) to add/remove country dots. Equalize resets domain weights to 1.

This chart is a modeled estimate based on public sources and editorial judgment. Positions may be incomplete or out-of-date. Treat this as a starting point; read the sources and decide for yourself.

Glossary (quick reads)

Commons — shared assets & infrastructures (knowledge, public goods, ecological capital) governed for broad benefit.

Commerce — private production & exchange, price signals, competitive markets; emphasis on enterprise and capital formation.

Club — federated, voluntary, bottom-up coordination (guilds, co-ops, associations, DAOs, standards bodies).

Crown — centralized, top-down coordination (constitutional states, regulators, executive agencies, treaties, central banks).

Methods & Sources

Axes. X blends Commons → Commerce; Y blends Club → Crown. Raw inputs are normalized per dataset and combined per domain.

Aggregation. Each point is a weighted aggregation over domains (economy, civic, institutions, culture, etc). The Equalize control sets all domain weights = 1 so you can see a baseline, then try stress-testing by changing weights.

Interpretation. This is a modeled estimate. Treat positions as directional—not absolute. Use the per-domain notes & citations when available and read the sources yourself.

Data refresh. When a v2 dataset exists it’s preferred; we fall back to v1. Preload is used to reduce first-interaction latency.
