Introduction
In this blog post we explore the innovative project "Tetra," introduced by Gudasol during various episodes of Eden Fractal. The post outlines key insights on fractal governance, consensus games, and the transformative potential of Tetra in fostering a better society.
Readers can navigate through timestamps to access specific discussions by Gudasol during Eden Fractal events, covering Tetra's objectives, updates, and the integration of fractal concepts within modern societal frameworks. This overview sets a foundational understanding of Tetra's significance in the context of collaborative efforts and democratic principles.

Overview
Tetra.Earth plans to implements fractal governance through a structured participatory system that embodies democratic principles at multiple scales. The platform's design features:
- A bottom-up governance structure where citizens participate in weekly face-to-face Zoom meetings, building community trust through direct interaction
- Small group dynamics (6 people per breakout room) that foster meaningful connections and enable consensus-building—a core principle of fractal democracy
- Representative selection occurs organically through these small groups, with incentives for participation
- A cascading leadership model where representatives elect Chiefs bi-annually, creating multiple tiers of democratic representation
- Power distribution through Localize features, allowing each region to adapt algorithms and procedures to their specific needs—embodying the fractal principle of self-similarity with variation
This system creates nested democratic structures (individual → small group → representatives → chiefs) that mirror fractal patterns, where each level maintains the essential democratic properties while adapting to its specific scale and context. The screenshots below provide visual details of the implementation.
