Capture resistance is upstream of censorship right? I think capture resistance is 2d: aggregation resistance and enclosure resistance. There’s a 2x2 there. Many decentralized protocols are aggregation resistant but not enclosure resistant. Aggregation resistance is about plurality and multiplicity but enclosure resistance is about openness and heterogeneity

Increasingly convinced protocolization *is* decentralization. So this actually maps to “centralize till it hurts, decentralize till it works” It’s a radical thought, but what after all is a protocol, ontologically? You take a gestalt flow-like behavior (or zen ideal of such a behavior) and break it up into hard and soft little pieces that interact with a mix of hard and soft rules that separate concerns, loci of agency, and points of action. Even if it’s a one person micro-protocol, the behavior gets chopped up so you’re in discrete states through the flow. Protocolization is *narrative discretization.” Instead of crude sampling, you make up sampling ontology and grammar that captures 80% of the effectual power of the behavior with a 20% codification.
