Aletheia

Aletheia是有效解决去中心化治理系统中机制的建模、实验与决策相关问题的工具方法，其基本思想是通过形式化地描述去中心化治理系统的静态特征与动态特征来构建人工治理系统，并与实际治理系统虚实交互与闭环反馈。

基于区块链和智能合约之上的去中心化治理，是一个典型的复杂的人类行为和群体决策的网络物理社会系统（cyper-physical-social system）。难以通过经验决策、数学推演或是仿真模拟，验证其治理策略。Aletheia，基于对现实世界治理系统或治理机制的平行建模，对各类实际或虚拟的计算实验场景，观察和量化评估各类参数配置、效果性能，并预测其演变规律，从而实现现实治理系统与Aletheia的双向引导与协同演化。

具体的说，Aletheia 通过仿真和认知模拟的手段来验证和优化治理机制，它将被研究的机制设计为输入，生成相应的虚拟环境以及各种行为智能体实体。通过实验场景和行为的变化完成连续的模拟循环，为验证和调整预期机制提供足够的模拟数据。Aletheia 提供了一套通过虚拟系统建模和仿真实际治理机制的工具，目的是为了验证和优化。这些虚拟系统本质上把认知与实验结合起来，收集、分析和验证机制的交互作用。

2021年9月底，Aletheia与DUET合作，完成了它的第一份实验报告：分别从系统全机制逻辑验证，极端场景验证和策略行为收益分析三个方面，为DUET的机制进行了全面的分析。

目前，Aletheia正在与DAOrayaki合作，为其构建并验证去中心化媒体治理工具组件。

Aletheia is an effective tool for solving problems related to mechanism modeling, experimentation and decision-making in the decentralized governance system. The basic idea of Aletheia is to construct an artificial governance system by formally describing the static and dynamic characteristics of the decentralized governance system, and to interact with the actual governance system and closed-loop feedback. Decentralized governance based on blockchain and smart contracts is a typical cyber-physical-social system of complex human behavior and group decision-making. It is difficult to verify its governance strategy by empirical decision-making, mathematical deduction or simulation. Aletheia, based on parallel modeling of real-world governance systems or governance mechanisms, observes and quantitatively evaluates various parameter configurations, effects and performances of various actual or virtual computing experimental scenarios, and predicts their evolution rules, so as to realize the two-way guidance and co-evolution of the actual governance system and Aletheia. Specifically, Aletheia verifies and optimizes the governance mechanism through simulation and cognitive simulation. The mechanism being studied is the input, which generates the corresponding virtual environment and various behavioral agent entities. The continuous simulation cycle is completed through changes in experimental scenarios and behaviors, and sufficient simulation data is provided for verification and adjustment of the expected mechanism. Aletheia provides a set of tools for modeling and simulating actual governance mechanisms through virtual systems for verification and optimization. These virtual systems essentially combine cognition and experimentation, collecting, analyzing, and verifying the interaction of mechanisms. At the end of September 2021, Aletheia cooperated with DUET to complete its first experimental report: a comprehensive analysis of the mechanism of DUET from three aspects: logic verification of the system's full mechanism, verification of extreme scenarios, and profit analysis of different strategic behaviors. Currently, Aletheia is collaborating with DAOrayaki to build and verify decentralized media governance tool components for it.
