If distributed-decision making, or what Elinor Ostrom describes as "polycentric governance", is related to DAO's, then you may be interested in my literature survey of this topic that is attached as an Appendix to my Working Paper Do we need “A new model of corporate governance?” https://papers.ssrn.com/abstract_id=3735205
In the modern world there has to be some method by which Decentralized and Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) can interact with each other, with the aim of maintaining similar standards (not the same standards) which can be attributed to the same general aims, per se.
In my system, an organization called the Institute of Citizenship Research (or ICR for short) constantly monitors and compares new ideas and new introductions to a nation state (for example) and quality controls what may be included in the teaching of the National Virtuous Citizenship (NVC) Culture at four levels, in the same way that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) censures things which it disagrees with to protect it's government position allegedly at one level.
The difference between the two ideologies is that the aim of the ICR is to promote "the good" - a term described by Aristotle as meaning "that which all things aim at" (at four levels of enlightenment) and not politics in the interest of the CCP and Chinese Communism which is similar in nature to Assembly Representation (AR) which pretends to be democratic in order to help promote business, economics banks and money at just one level.
In my opinion this, or something like this, must evolve and develop for the whole of humanity (including China) because the way that governments are currently run are all so corrupt, that they have next to nothing in common with ordinary people anymore and they just pay a token lip service to democracy to veil the complete corruption DAOs which is anathema to the 21st century in so many ways. It just can't continue, especially with just rich people making all the policies!
