Framework condition 1
Universal law and justice
Paco Mota’s original formulation
1) FWC1 establishes a universal and democratic law and justice system.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights ↗
A foundational text for examining equal rights, civil liberties and political participation within a universal framework.
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights ↗
Articles 14, 19 and 25 provide a basis for comparing judicial safeguards, freedom of expression and political participation, including equal suffrage.
Framework condition 2
Knowledge and political participation
Paco Mota’s original formulation
2) FWC2 establishes bapodeship (the condition of a base political decisionmaker) via scientifically-sanctioned (using a Double-Blind Model or DBM) sciologicity (or raciocognitivity), not by extrauterine age, as well as the direct (quasi)proportionality between the MDC-sanctioned personal sciocrenum (number of sciological credits or sciocredits) and the sciovonum (number of sciological votes or sciovotes).
OECD Guidelines for Citizen Participation Processes ↗
Methods and quality criteria for informed, inclusive participation. Useful for comparing Paco’s proposal with institutional practice without treating them as equivalent.
Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture ↗
Values, attitudes, skills and knowledge for democratic participation. This is an educational framework, not a validation of tests assigning different voting weights.
Framework condition 3
Information and critical thinking
Paco Mota’s original formulation
3) FWC3 establishes both the free unrestricted access to all unreserved true or scioprobable information, and the universal anti-indoctrination ban.
Recommendation on Open Science (2021) ↗
An international framework for sharing scientific knowledge and widening access, collaboration and participation in science.
Media and Information Literate Citizens: Think Critically, Click Wisely ↗
Educational material on evaluating information and media, assessing sources and developing critical thinking.
Framework condition 4
Economic transparency
Paco Mota’s original formulation
4) FWC4 establishes the universal abolition of cash money (physical money) and the exhaustive, secure, confidential and traceable inforegistry of every Legal Economic Transaction (LET).
United Nations Convention against Corruption ↗
A reference text on prevention, international co-operation and asset recovery. It does not prescribe the universal abolition of cash.
The role of cash ↗
A counterpoint on privacy, autonomy and inclusion: explains functions of cash that proposals to replace it need to address.
