How to act when the framework of representations/emotions is insufficient

Context

We have already seen how the collective mind system can make a decision when there is a representation of an action: through the emission of a collective positive emotion towards this action. For example, people conceive a new drug that meets the representations showing it is beneficial and safe, and enough people invest a positive emotion allowing the release of funds to realize this action representation.

But sometimes we need (individually or collectively) to make decisions or judgments that cannot rely on a long or complex decision-making process. For example, for collective governance:

having to accomplish actions quickly
The collective decision system cannot respond to rapid actions, such as decisions on rescue actions.
when the representation is not sufficiently developed
For example, judging the sincerity in the narration of a fact. This type of judgment may be necessary to assess, during a trial, whether a person is trying to hide the truth. This judgment is complex because it relies on the observation of subtle signals and on the evaluation of the probabilities of the narrated facts.
when the action is not global enough
For example, if the collective is a company and the action is purchasing consumables.

Unlike the scientific system, a collective mind must be able to decide in all cases, even in situations of doubt, complexity, lack of information, or urgency.

Question

How to make effective collective decisions when the system of representations/emotions is insufficient ?

Study

A decision can be made in different ways: by an individual, a group, a machine. To manage a decision-making process, it is necessary to determine:

Existing Solutions

There is a wide variety of solutions. For example, recruiting actors based on diplomas, then signing a contract where the evaluation of completed tasks is done by other people (usually in a hierarchical system). But the evaluation can also be done by clients (rating system).

We can notice two poles of motivations based on negative emotions (the most common as they are adapted to the culture generated by capitalism and its system of domination) and others positive, at the extremes we have:

stress-based management
Employees are placed in conditions where motivations are negative, up to stress (reprimands, fear of losing the job, culture of competition, etc.).
liberated companies type
Employees are placed in a position of freedom and cooperation (really, this has nothing to do with stress-based management incorporating double language where one is positive).

Study of Solutions

We see that there is a whole variety of contexts that can generate different solutions. For example, when the task is essentially to satisfy people, we can ask them to do the evaluation.

Answer

The distributed governance system can establish norms to delegate actions according to the context.
