This differs from both direct democracy (where everyone votes on everything) and representative democracy (where elected officials make decisions for others). Instead, it's a flexible process of free association where people can participate as much or as little as they choose, while ensuring those with relevant knowledge and skills can contribute effectively without creating hierarchical power structures. 2/2
