## Enhancing the Smart Contract Your process involves a clear progression: **Perspectives** (raw opinions stored on IPFS), **Synthesis** (AI-generated Insights), **Consensus** (community voting), **Contributions** (validated Insights), and **Resolutions** (final recommendations for policymakers). The smart contract should manage this flow, ensuring transparency, immutability, and community participation. Here’s what it should do and the methods it needs: ### What the Smart Contract Should Do - **Store Submissions**: Record Perspectives with their IPFS hashes, linked to specific issues, and track submitters (anonymously if needed). - **Facilitate Insight Proposals**: Allow authorized entities (e.g., moderators or AI oracles) to propose Insights based on Perspectives. - **Enable Voting**: Let the community vote on Insights to reach Consensus. - **Validate Contributions**: Accept Insights as Contributions once they meet a voting threshold. - **Compile Resolutions**: Aggregate Contributions into a final Resolution for policymakers. - **Ensure Transparency**: Emit events for every step so actions are trackable off-chain. - **Control Access**: Restrict certain actions (e.g., proposing Insights) to authorized roles while keeping the system open for participation. ### Additional Smart Contract Methods Here are the key methods to implement this functionality: 1. **`submitPerspective`** - **Purpose**: Lets users submit their raw opinions (Perspectives). - **Inputs**: `ipfsHash` (string, the IPFS hash of the Perspective), `issueId` (string, identifies the proposed law or issue). - **Action**: Stores the Perspective, links it to the submitter’s address, and emits an event. - **Example**: A user submits "I think taxes should fund more public parks." 2. **`proposeInsight`** - **Purpose**: Allows Insights to be proposed after AI synthesis of Perspectives. - **Inputs**: `description` (string, the Insight text), `perspectiveIds` (array of Perspective IDs used to form the Insight). - **Action**: Records the Insight, ties it to relevant Perspectives, and emits an event. - **Example**: An AI proposes "Most users support increased park funding as a tax priority." 3. **`voteOnInsight`** - **Purpose**: Enables community voting on Insights to reach Consensus. - **Inputs**: `insightId` (uint, the Insight’s ID), `support` (boolean, true for yes, false for no). - **Action**: Updates the vote count and emits an event; may include checks to prevent double-voting. - **Example**: Users vote on the park funding Insight. 4. **`acceptContribution`** - **Purpose**: Validates an Insight as a Contribution once Consensus is reached. - **Inputs**: `insightId` (uint, the Insight’s ID). - **Action**: Checks if the vote count meets a threshold (e.g., 50% of voters), marks it as accepted, and emits an event. - **Example**: The park funding Insight becomes a Contribution. 5. **`compileResolution`** - **Purpose**: Combines Contributions into a final Resolution. - **Inputs**: `resolution` (string, the compiled text). - **Action**: Records the Resolution and emits an event for off-chain use (e.g., sending to policymakers). - **Example**: "Recommend tax allocation for parks" is compiled. ### Example Smart Contract Code Here’s a simplified version to illustrate: ```solidity contract LegislationCrowdsourcing { struct Perspective { string ipfsHash; // IPFS hash of the raw opinion string issueId; // Identifies the issue or law address submitter; // Submitter’s address } struct Insight { string description; // Insight text uint256 perspectiveCount; // Number of Perspectives it’s based on uint256 voteCount; // Number of supporting votes bool accepted; // True if it becomes a Contribution } mapping(uint256 => Perspective) public perspectives; mapping(uint256 => Insight) public insights; uint256 public perspectiveCount; uint256 public insightCount; event PerspectiveSubmitted(uint256 id, string ipfsHash, string issueId, address submitter); event InsightProposed(uint256 id, string description); event VotedOnInsight(uint256 insightId, address voter, bool support); event ContributionAccepted(uint256 insightId); event ResolutionCompiled(string resolution); function submitPerspective(string memory ipfsHash, string memory issueId) public { perspectives[perspectiveCount] = Perspective(ipfsHash, issueId, msg.sender); emit PerspectiveSubmitted(perspectiveCount, ipfsHash, issueId, msg.sender); perspectiveCount++; } function proposeInsight(string memory description, uint256[] memory perspectiveIds) public { insights[insightCount] = Insight(description, perspectiveIds.length, 0, false); emit InsightProposed(insightCount, description); insightCount++; } function voteOnInsight(uint256 insightId, bool support) public { if (support) { insights[insightId].voteCount++; } emit VotedOnInsight(insightId, msg.sender, support); } function acceptContribution(uint256 insightId) public { uint256 threshold = 100; // Example threshold if (insights[insightId].voteCount >= threshold) { insights[insightId].accepted = true; emit ContributionAccepted(insightId); } } function compileResolution(string memory resolution) public { emit ResolutionCompiled(resolution); } } ```
