===Our Mission===
The aim objective of this site wiki-paper is to develop foster a culture, that embraces the principles of deliberation and democratic decision-making while also advancing the corresponding methodologies and [[https://delib.org/technology|technologies]] and methods . In pursuit of this mission, we are formulating a comprehensive theory of deliberation deliberative democracy. This theory draws on insights from various interdisciplinary fields, including [[Epistemology|philosophy]], neuroscience, and democratic decision makingthe extensive literature on deliberative democracy within the social sciences.
To realize our mission, we are developing a theory of deliberative democracy, which will support the methodologies and technologies. The theory is based on interdisciplinary sciences, from [[Epistemology|philosophy]], [[Dorsal ACC decision making system|brain research]] and literature on deliberative democracy in social sciences.

==Introduction==
Deliberative democracy is a form of democracy democratic approach that places citizen deliberation at its core, emphasizing broad public involvement in which citzenry deliberation is central to decision-makingprocesses. It put high value on envolving larger parts of champions the population in decision making of the governing bodies. citizen idea that all citizens should have an equal voice and equal influence in the shaping of public solutions. It manifests that when making a public decisions, every option should be taken into account, even if it’s owners do not have much education in regardless of their level of expertise on the subject. The reason for This principle stems from the recognition that, is that every each citizen has her own interests a stake in the public decisiondecisions, and they may be influenced by the choices the decision body will makewhich can profoundly impact their lives.
However, letting the challenge arises when attempting to include every citizen participate in the discussion and influence the option taken by the publicdeliberative process, results in tedious as it can lead to lengthy and endless unwieldy meetings. Many citizens want individuals aspire to shape the solutioncontribute their perspectives, while many others want to propose their own unique solutions , or criticize the critique existing ideas brought to the table. Equal While noble in principle, this equal deliberation may be can become a very cumbersome process that takes huge amounts of energy laborious and time-consuming endeavor. If all the residents of For instance, granting each resident an equal say in a small town would have the same influence on the solutions proposed, the deliberation may take could extend deliberations for years. As the decision-making body of decision makers growsexpands, so do does the time and energy it takes required to make reach an equal equitable decision. Because Unfortunately, this protracted process can deter participation, ultimately undermining the goal of its tediousness many citizens prefer not to participate in it, therefore making equal deliberation null.
So, if we want to keep To uphold the ideals of equal deliberation of real equality, while making streamlining the process efficient and suited for the participating of thousands and millionsto accommodate larger populations, we have it is imperative to learn gain a deeper understanding of how deliberation works. What are her functions, including its constituent elements and how do they interact with each other? If we will be able to understand the elements their interactions. By comprehending these dynamics, we will be able to suggest can propose more efficient ways to conduct equal methods for public deliberation, and even invent a new application that may help larger develop innovative applications to facilitate the engagement of extensive citizen groups of citizens engage in the public decisionsdecision-making.
In On this website , we will suggest present a comprehensive theory that will explain elucidates the critical elements of deliberation and their interactionshow they interact. We Subsequently, we will then investigate scrutinize prevalent deliberation practices through the common practices lens of deliberation and analyze them according to the this theory. LastlyFinally, we will suggest outline a roadmap for the future process for of deliberative democracy and develop apps for applications designed to enhance the deliberative democracyprocess. The Our current app we are working on is project, [http://wwwdelib-5.delibweb.org app delib.org-5]. The , is an example of this initiative, and its source code for delib can be found is available [https://github.com/delib-org/delib-fron2 5 here].
==The Challenges==
The deliberation process is fraught with substantial challenges, as it necessitates the meaningful engagement of diverse individuals in decision-making, all while meticulously accounting for each unique perspective. This chapter delves into the intricacies of these challenges.
===Definition of deliberation===
Deliberation is an [[organization|organizational]] collaborative decision-making process, aiming at finding the organization's [[optimal course of action]] which will result in the best outcomes for the [[stakeholders]], using minimal resources of the organization. In deliberation, all members of the organization are considered equal, all relevant information is taken into account, and the information is validated (see more on [[Values of deliberative-democracy]]).

===Values of Deliberation===
Within a democratic framework, the foundational principle lies in the equality of all citizens, where each individual's rights and needs are accorded equal significance in the eyes of the democratic decision-making apparatus. To effectively address the diverse needs and concerns of all citizens within this decision-making context, scholars of deliberative democracy have put forth a set of core values that deliberators should adhere to in their deliberative endeavors.

=== Personal Criterion for selecting options ===In choosing among competing alternatives, it becomes imperative to establish a democracy, all citizens are considered equal, with equal rights framework for assessing and their needs have equal importance before distinguishing superior solutions from inferior ones. This chapter undertakes the exploration of criteria employed by participants in the determination of the democratic decision making bodymost favorable solution. To ensure that all citizens needs and concerns could be taken into account [[Personal Optimising ROI Selection Criterion]] (GPORSC)===Deliberation-action cycle===Although a valuable framework, deliberation does not guarantee foolproof outcomes in the decision makingquest for optimal solutions. In this chapter, scholars we put forward a proposal aimed at enhancing the caliber of deliberative democracy suggested several values that deliberators should follow in their deliberative processsolutions put forth and chosen by participants.

===The cognitive Logical elements of decision making===
The basic entities of decision making in a group, are her members. Every member that takes part in the decision, uses a cognitive process to gather information and make a decision. So, the first step in understanding deliberation is to describe these personal cognitive elements that members are using to make their decisions. When we will understand the personal cognitive elements, we will be able to start to understand the more complex interaction between the members.
