Glossary of Interesting Terms from the MetaLeX Whitepaper

Feel free to propose specific definitions. For now, I've just catalogued some of the more fun/interesting terms that jumped out at me.

Cybernetic economy: An economy that integrates legal, governance and operational needs with a unique set of onchain protocols and offchain legal arrangements, purpose-built to balance agile, effective governance structures with trust-minimization and legal compliance, in which the physical and digital worlds merge on top of the “value substrate” of blockchains.

Cybernetic law: Autonomous systems that integrate a legal structure in the system's event loop.

bizBORG: An independent entity that uses autonomous technologies in its operations.

BORG: A traditional entity (e.g., corporations, limited liability companies, foundations, etc.) that legally mandates the use of autonomous technologies (such as smart contracts and AI) to conduct some or all of its operations and/or governance. Shorthand for a "cyBernetic ORGanization".

BORG_CORE: A standardized guardian contract that enhances a Safe {Core} multisig smart account with additional features and protections that support the BORG's operations and governance.

DAO-Adjacent BORG: A BORG entity funded by and undertaking activities beneficial to a parent or sibling DAO, under a carefully constructed set of checks and balances.

Digisprudence: Jurisprudence in the context of cybernetic law. (?)

Emergency Supervisor: A delegate with exceptional unilateral powers granted for the limited purpose of protecting the BORG and/or DAO from imminent harm in response to adverse events. (?)

IMPLANTS: Standard or bespoke code modules that supplement the BORG_CORE contract with additional features and protections.

Lex Cryptographia: An emerging subset of law defined by rules administered through self-executing smart contracts and decentralized (autonomous) organizations.

MetaLeX OS: A suite of software tools that enable the creation and operation of BORGs.
