btw. What was the ooutcome of your discussion? Mind to share?
My opinion remained the same: It's infeasible to create a full autonomous entity, the creator has to predict all possible situations or create an AI.
I see what you mean, but i think it depends on the working area/goal of the DAC/DAO.
Depending on what it does there could be only very limited possibilities of what can happen.
You could then use a bottom-up design to merge alot of "small" DAC/DAO to a big one without setting a new complexity record or atleast saving some?
