Thinking about protocol as a lay person brings to mind RSVPs and what exactly HR does after they get a complaint, but as a tech person I know protocols are simply rules that help us work together, independently.

Wouldn't it be interesting to explore how ideas from tech protocols can help us do the same?

What would distributed systems protocols like DHT, bittorrent and federation look like for communities, cities, and governments? Could they not solve many bureaucratic issues and problems of coordination and blocking?

Seems to me there's a lot of untapped potential here.
