Show HN: TPA – A Zero-Trust Protocol for Sovereign Governance

1•CuriousP•1h ago
I’ve been researching governance models that treat political power not as a moral issue, but as a system architecture problem. I found this proposal called Theory of Power Accountability (TPA).

The core idea is "Proportionality of Transparency": the more power you exercise over others, the less privacy you have in your public role. It’s essentially a Zero-Trust approach applied to government.

Key features:

Automatic Functional Sanctions: Instead of waiting years for a criminal trial, if a leader fails to explain a wealth gap or an unrecorded interaction, they automatically lose functional prerogatives (voting rights, access to public funds).

Inviolable Private Life: It strictly forbids monitoring common citizens. The "spotlight" only follows the power.

Immutable Institutional Memory: Every decision must explicitly state who benefits and who pays, creating an audit trail of "externalities."

I’m curious about the technical feasibility of implementing this as a modular protocol (perhaps via smart contracts or decentralized ledgers). What are the potential "attack vectors" on a system like this?
