An Agora tries to solve all of these based on social signals contributed to the commons:
- [[taxonomies]]
- [[heterarchies]], as represented by [[agora trees]] and [[path/like/queries]], can be reinforced by the Agora as more users hint at them.
- Hypothesis: this can do away with the need for fixed taxonomies or category systems, and the associated upkeep cost (and potentially gatekeeping) that comes with them.
