A collaborative dialogue to examine and unsettle the philosophical foundations of decentralization. What do we actually mean when we speak of decentralization, and what forms of order, asymmetry or coordination quietly sustain it? Where does decentralization end and centralization begin, and is this opposition as clear as it appears? Beyond familiar binaries such as order and chaos, what assumptions are embedded in the formal systems, protocols and narratives we rely on? What do participants experience when engaging with institutions, infrastructures or rulesets, and what recedes into the background as those systems operate? Through a self-reflective and performative inquiry, this dialogue explores decentralization not as a moral absolute but as a situated and contested design space shaped as much by what it excludes as by what it enables.
