This work introduces a novel technopolitical artifact that opens up the possibility for a system of
non-dominant citizen governance that eliminates the representative layer and puts citizens at the top
of the decision making process. A socio-political approach that arises by merging two disrupting
technologies: Sociocracy 3.0 as an organizational technology for efficiently governing large, self-
determinant organizations; and Blockchain as a digital reputation technology for overcoming the
limitations preventing standalone Sociocracy 3.0 of being used in organizations governing the
public domain.

In recent years, positive correlations between some factors of collaborative group task processes and the increasing of collective intelligence (CI) have been presented. This work introduces an hypothesis that argues the existence of a new factor of positive influence for the increasing of collective intelligence in collaborative group tasks operating in cooperative environments: self-determination. Therefore, we present an argumentation based on Cooperative Multiagent Systems that spotlights the significance of self-determination in these particular environments. Furthermore, we also introduce a preliminary design of an experimental setup and a methodological framework for validating the hypothesis empirically in human organizations. Our propose consists on measuring, on the one hand, the level of self-determination from the individuals that participate on the decision-making processes, and on the other hand, on measuring the level of collective intelligence achieved by performing collaborative group task. Finally, we propose to use statistical analysis to explore if there are positive correlations between self-determination and collective intelligence in cooperative environments, such as collaborative organizations.

This work presents S3LF, a socio-technical system in the form of a mobile application for
facilitating a ​ digital self-determinant governance experience in collaborative organizations. It
consists of a technologically mediated adaptation of the decision making framework Sociocracy 3.0
a.k.a S3, turning it into an asynchronous and remote process with a facilitation mediated through the
user experience (UX) and interaction design. S3LF enables digital and distributed organizations
such as Collaborative Networked Organizations (CNOs) to adopt self-determinant governancemethodologies such as S3, and promises a faster onboarding into self-determinant governance and
higher throughput of self-determinant decision making. Furthermore, we introduce in S3LF a
self-diagnosis module that reports the level of self-determination perceived by each decision maker
of the group for each decision made, over different contextual situations; whose analysis has the
potential to allow organizations to self-correct dominant situations.
