This repository contains the foundational paper establishing CyberSocium as a new interdisciplinary field of cybersocial economics — a synthesis of institutional economics, mechanism design, cybernetics, and cryptoeconomics applied to the design of decentralised socio-economic formations.
The paper introduces the concept of a CyberSocial Corporation (CSC) — a formally defined six-tuple ⟨N, R, P, G, M, E⟩ that provides a rigorous framework for designing self-governing digital economic communities that operate without centralised control while maintaining institutional coherence.
- 8 Axioms (A1-A8) defining the normative foundations of cybersocial systems, including A8: Cognitive Augmentation (AI integration)
- PMIP — Principle of Minimum Individual Participation: formal proof that individual participation cost approaches zero as SIC size grows
- SES — Socio-Economic Selection: evolutionary game-theoretic mechanism for DAO lifecycle governance
- IPI — Idea-Project-Implementation lifecycle with formal state machine
- FRP — Fork Resolution Protocol for handling governance conflicts
- Four-class DAO taxonomy: Social, Code, Commerce, Economic — with formal interaction model
- Hybrid Voting Power: VP = sqrt(GBR_staked) x ActivityMultiplier x StatusBonus
- DUNA legal wrapper: Wyoming Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association integration
- GyberExperiment: First empirical realisation as a controlled socio-economic experiment

This document lays the theoretical foundation of a new interdisciplinary field — Cybersocial Economics — and presents the technical specification of GyberExperiment as its first empirical realisation. The central concept — the CyberSocial Corporation (CSC) — is proposed as a new form of socio-economic organisation that combines the scalability of digital platforms, the democratic governance of cooperatives, the cryptographic security of blockchain systems, and the adaptive intelligence of AI.
The paper demonstrates that existing organisational forms (traditional corporations, cooperatives, DAOs) fail to simultaneously solve the problems of scalability, democratic governance, and economic sustainability. CSC addresses this through a system of eight axioms, four formal mechanisms (PMIP, SES, IPI, FRP), and a multi-level architecture including tokenomics, reputation, hybrid voting, and AI integration.
