Open questions

What is not worked out yet, and the models that are planned but not built.

Persons and groups

• Conflictedness: conflict within a person, or also with the wants of others? (Measures)
• How do the wants of many persons combine into a group's wants, using comparisons only? (Finding out what we want: voting and consequence)
• A proper measure for comparing value systems: model value systems as sets of comparisons and follow how they change over time, instead of the simple match used in the pictures. (Finding out what we want: money as a signal)

Finding out what we want

• Who is trusted to turn values into action, and to say what the current problem is? (Finding out what we want: voting and consequence, Managing trust)
• Model: how choices change from poll to voting booth to personal cost to a choice about one's life. (Finding out what we want: voting and consequence)
• Model: how many ballots can be removed without changing the result. (Finding out what we want: voting and consequence)
• How large must the bound part of money be to keep its intention? (Finding out what we want: money as a signal)

Acting on it

• Show that even an equal start becomes unequal under today's system. (Acting on what is wanted)
• Show that missed potential is large enough to improve everyone's situation without anyone having less of what they have now. (Acting on what is wanted)
• Add the rescue of a sector with unbound money to the binding model. (Acting on what is wanted)

Managing trust

• How do voted values reach the actions after a payment? (Managing trust)

Reducing hurt

• What if some wants to hurt are stronger than any deterrence? (Reducing hurt)
• In a society connected through care, do harsher punishment and easier hiding lead to more harm? (Reducing hurt)
• Does harsher punishment increase total hurt, even where it reduces acts? (Reducing hurt)
• Model: the teaching gradient (talking, showing, experiencing, tempting) on the same society as the punishment models. (Reducing hurt)

Getting there

• How to transform a running system rather than design one from scratch. (Getting there)

Further models

• The market model: actors as persons in their job roles; capital over time; the eco-labelled producer; actors who only see totals; persons joining one by one.
• Real data on where money flows (input–output tables and household budget surveys).
