Requirements given by users already function as software. Collectively, they make an “agreed specification” that Tau Net adapts to. The definition of “agreed” is fluid, allowing for a uniquely evolving configuration, where functionality and governance is collaboratively sculpted by the entire community. Be notified if updates don’t occur due to disagreement, so the rules for updating or the proposed feature, can change.

Everyone can give requirements for governance rules and conditions for these rules to change. Create rules with deep complexity and Tau Net will adapt to them. E.g. A rule that users with certain domain-knowledge are elected to decide parts of Tau Net’s behaviour, with automatic removal if they act against community values.

To prevent bot attacks, 51% attacks, and dictatorship risks, users can collectively implement governance rules that prevent such a takeover from happening. For example, for a 51% attack to happen, the rules to allow for that would have to be put in place first by the users collectively, e.g. unchecked majority voting by the entire user base. Our patented “Method and System for Arbitrary Attestation to Anonymous Internet Users” enables users to decide that certain governance decisions may only be undertaken by authenticated users, further preventing bots or malicious actors from manipulating the system.

Users are able to decide on positive and negative global statements that affect the entire system, e.g. “Never send private data over the network”. Tau’s logical AI engine ensures that these statements, once agreed upon by the collective user base, are guaranteed to be met with 100% accuracy according to users’ descriptions and adhered to across all future versions of Tau Net unless changed by community consensus.

Tau Net’s first rules are created by its first users. Which is why Testnet is a crucial chrysalis state, where you, the users, have significant direct input into forming its foundation and metamorphosis to Mainnet.
