THE .one FOUNDATION
Democracy,
Evolved.
Digital civic infrastructure for measuring opinion.
Imagine a system of user-authored, real-time, continuous and persistent polling that aggregates civic opinion across languages, borders, platforms, and time.
A system where people set the agenda, where voices accumulate rather than disappear, and where the role of AI is only to help us understand one another.
That’s .one. Helping turn human expression into collective understanding.
THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF CIVIC SIGNAL
Civic Functions
Built to turn user-authored positions into measurable civic signal, Civic Functions attach to all kinds of content. Alongside articles, social posts, and community discussions, these tools are built to measure what people think.
There are two types: Polls measure agreement with a position or proposed action. Scores measure how people evaluate performance, condition, satisfaction, trust, etc.
Polls and Scores make your voice count.
Poll
What do you believe? What should happen?
Measure agreement or disagreement with a principle, position, or proposed action.
Demo dataScore
How well is something working? How good or bad are conditions?
Measure how people evaluate a leader, institution, service, or condition on a shared scale.

What makes Civic Functions different?
Set the Agenda
Anyone can author a Civic Function about an issue or position that matters to them, giving people the power to decide what gets measured.
Embed Anywhere
Civic Functions are designed to sit beside news articles, social posts, blogs, and videos, connecting participation across digital spaces to a shared civic record.
Build Lasting Signal
Functions persist in the registry, allowing participation to accumulate over time. Participants can update their responses as their views change.
Connect Across Languages & Borders
The Civic Signal Engine helps people find equivalent positions across languages, bringing shared civic demand together.
FROM EXPRESSION TO AGGREGATION
The Civic Signal Engine
The Civic Signal Engine uses AI to interpret civic expressions, generate structured Civic Functions, and identify matching Functions already in the Registry—even across languages. Participants can respond to an existing Function or create their own, while duplicate Functions can be merged to consolidate responses.
As the Registry grows and more people participate, those responses accumulate into persistent, real-time civic signal across languages, platforms, and time.

A Shared Layer of Visible Civic Signal
The Civic Mirror
Today, civic demand is scattered across opinion polls, social media, news coverage, and election cycles. Much of what people believe, support, evaluate, and prioritize remains fragmented, temporary, and difficult to compare.
The Civic Mirror changes that.

The Original Vision
Before the Civic Signal Engine and the Civic Mirror, there was a simple idea: what if our voices didn't just echo—but counted?

A CIVIC SOCIAL NETWORK
Measure Opinion. Not Attention.
A social network built for civic agency.
Alongside its digital infrastructure, .one is developing a civic social network where Civic Functions become part of everyday conversation.
The experience will feel familiar: post, comment, share, message, and connect. Share a holiday, arrange a night out, or raise an issue that matters to you—with tools for civic participation right at your fingertips.
Author a poll. Invite people to score something. Connect your position with others across languages and borders. You help set the agenda and build a civic signal that lasts beyond the conversation.
We're designing .one around participation, privacy, and understanding. Connecting with others shouldn't require turning your private life into a commercial profile.
A place to connect, participate, and shape what comes next.

There's a fireworks festival on the river tonight and I'm going down early to claim a spot on the east bank before the crowd arrives. Anyone else heading over? Let me know and let's meet by the bridge around eight.

On my way back from Thailand after two weeks of long boats, limestone cliffs, and water that did not look real in person either. What a beautiful trip. Thank you to everyone who sent recommendations. See you again soon, Railay.
