Wrong. Rational theories and models repose in
falsifiability. They are never proved, but at best
not (yet) falsified. And I wrongly thought that
we both take it as granted that rational models
are by definition axiomatic, where axioms should
not be confused with definitions.

Now, DD is IMO a model of a social structure founded
on the following "K" axiom:

Each member has equal opportunity and weight to:
-propose a rule,
-to investigate and understand all proposals,
-to argue for or against any proposal,
-to influence the resolution.

This axiom may be easily falsified for all past and
present social systems with exception of Kibbutzim,
where it is not proved, but so far not falsified.

One may, of course, create an infinity of axiomatic
models and call them "DD", postulating for instance
that "DD" is founded on flamenco dancing.

Yet, some people may prefer the above "K" axiom
and investigate it, i.e. endeavor to falsify it
for given practical cases.

Georges.
