In lottocracy the representatives are assigned by lot. All citizens are put into a file of a computer, the computer produces three citizens at random every day, out of the group of say, 45 year olds, and they are the conscripts for a year, starting that very day. Their service of one year includes three months for instruction in procedures, and ... in understanding scientists. Their office is on the campus of a scientific establishment, so they can quickly get all the expert advice they need. Every day three new members join up, just as three existing members finish their terms. They are located all over the globe; they cannot therefore become a group or party with interests of their own, but are electronically linked up. The principle can be used on the level of cities, of hemispheres, and, of course, for the whole planet.

In Book 4 of the Politics, Aristotle already writes now about 2500 years ago (according to an English translation by Benjamin Jowett) “I mean for example, that it is thought to be democratic for the offices to be assigned by lot, for them to be elected (assigned by vote) oligarchic.” In Greek “Legô d'hoion dokei dêmokratikon men einai to klêrôtas einai tas archas, to d'hairetas oligarchikon.” (Latin transliteration).
