Belongbend
Record private judgments before discussion, so shifts that may protect group membership can be reviewed
Definition
Mechanism
Before a group discusses a judgment, each member records a private judgment, frozen like a CounterfactualAnchor. Public statements are then compared with the private records, and each shift toward the group's apparent view is recorded with the reason the member gives for it.
Invariants
- Private judgments are recorded before discussion begins and are not changed afterwards.
- A member's public shift from its private judgment is recorded with a stated reason.
Risks
Failure modes
Preference falsification
members state the group view while privately holding another.
Exposed privacy
private records are not kept private, so members falsify them too.
