The Live Civic Room
One meeting surface for every institution. The agenda, the vote, the official record, and the live conversation share a single screen, and the record never depends on the chat.

A Committee Hearing in One Room
A film of a complete hearing, from the first raised hand to the recorded vote, is in production.
A video platform does not know the agenda, who holds the floor, whether a quorum is present, or what was decided. The discussion happens in one place, the vote in another, and the record is assembled afterwards by hand. Each gap is a place where a decision can be lost, disputed, or quietly rewritten.
The Live Civic Room closes those gaps. It fuses the governance procedure with the live conversation. Deliberation stays entirely human. The room simply keeps the order, counts the vote, and writes the record as the meeting happens.
The Agenda
The order of business is visible to everyone and advances as the meeting does. In a legislature, a review of any active emergency powers comes first in every session, by constitutional rule.
The Floor
Members raise a hand and join a visible queue. The chair recognizes speakers in the open. Everyone can see who holds the floor and who is waiting.
The Vote
Thresholds are measured against all serving members, not only those who showed up. A quorum is a majority of everyone serving, and a supermajority is two thirds of everyone serving. The denominator is always on screen.
The Record
The agenda, the vote, and the sealed record live in the civic database. If the chat service has a bad day, the meeting degrades gracefully and the official record is untouched.
The Conversation
Text chat runs on Matrix and voice runs on LiveKit, both open source and both hosted by the same instance. No outside platform sits in the loop, and no advertising company holds the transcript.
Pseudonymous by Default
Participants appear under a handle, never a legal name. Office holders act in their public role. Residents are not required to expose their identity in order to watch their government work.
A Chamber With Its Thresholds on Display
This is the chamber of the world legislature in the demo: 3,153 seats, every one of them serving, a quorum of 1,577, and a supermajority of 2,102. The thresholds are computed from everyone serving and shown before any vote is called.
Below them sits the seating chart and a door into the live chamber. Chamber pages are public reading. Anyone may watch their government work.
The Earth chamber in the live demo: seats, quorum, supermajority, and seating.
Committee hearings were wired into the running engine first, with their queue, recognition, agenda, conversation, and vote. The live rooms index in the demo already lists chambers, committees, court hearings, and board rooms, and the remaining meeting types follow the same design contract. The public square and the halls described below are built.
Open to Everyone
The public square is open to every resident of the jurisdiction, and every thread belongs to a place, from a neighborhood to the planet. No special status is needed beyond living there.
No Control for Removing a Viewpoint
There are exactly four exceptions to open speech: a judicial order, the protection of rights, a personal block that affects only your own view, and content-neutral protection against spam. The software contains no button for removing an opinion, for anyone.
Testimony Becomes Record
In the halls, a resident can seal their own statement into the official record of the matter under discussion. The conversation and the record are connected, but only by the deliberate act of the person speaking.
A Stage for Practice
The same rooms can host a rehearsal. Legislative theatre, role-play, a youth council, or a classroom can run a complete session with real procedure and nothing at stake, then run it again for real.

The Rule Is Printed on the Wall
The public square states its own rule at the top of the page. No one, whether operator, legislator, or judge, may remove a post for its viewpoint. The only removals are four narrow carve-outs, and each one is logged.
The counter beside the thread count reads Art. I, uncensorable. The protection is a property of the software, and the page says so.
Chat and Voice Setup
How an instance hosts its own Matrix and LiveKit services.
The Constitutional Engine
One gate for every civic act, a tamper-evident public record, and rules no administrator can bend.
Journeys and Learning
Guided journeys, role training, and short films in 77 languages, built into every screen.
Polymorphic Voting
An election that is always open: approvals, public endorsements, then a proportional ranked count.
Legislatures in the Template
Sessions, quorum, committees, and the order of business.
Individuals in the Template
The rights of expression and participation the square protects.

Facilitation Is the Human Layer
Software can keep the order and the record. It cannot make a room feel safe to speak in. If you facilitate deliberation, moderate assemblies, or stage legislative theatre, help us get the human layer right.
