The Importance of Transcendental Unifying Values for Decentralization
Craig Calcaterra, Wulf A. Kaal · 2021
Chapter )* highlights the need for the establishment and maintenance of unifying transcendental values of decentralized organizations. Unlike scientific laws, transcen- dental values cannot be stated formally and explicitly. The power of a decentralized organization derives from its ability to unite its members in service to the goal of their shared values. The strength a decentralized network is measured by summing the power of each member in their individual autonomy. Yet, their very autonomy re- quires the members to construct the unifying ideals for themselves. They are individ- ually responsible for the establishment, nourishment, and revitalization of those uni- fying ideals, continually.

Transcendental Unifying Values “Without myth, however, every culture loses its healthy creative natural power: it is only a horizon encompassed with myth that rounds off to unity a social move- ment.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy This final essential institution is the most important for long-term stability, and demands eternal reevaluation. Decentralized organizations require strong unifying values to remain coherent. Decentralized organizations live by their ideals. Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3782220
