Distributed Economic Governance System
Understanding economic systems through simulation, not assumption.
A modular AGPL 3.0+ governance intelligence platform for analyzing business structures, modeling liability, detecting systemic fragility, and simulating economic outcomes under real-world constraints.
Overview
The Distributed Economic Governance System (DEGS) is an open-source infrastructure layer for economic accountability, structural analysis, and governance simulation.
It is designed to:
- analyze business and organizational structures
- map liability and accountability chains
- simulate economic outcomes and systemic risk
- detect fragility and collapse conditions
- support transparent ownership transformation
- enable jurisdiction-aware legal and compliance reasoning
