The Governance Congregation: How Voting Mechanisms Become Ritual and Why Scored Monarchy Is the Null-Void Form

Description

Applies the THRML void framework to governance systems, synthesizing the Constraint-Custodian Theorem (Paper 10), congregation-effect Pe dynamics (Paper 39), and Girard's scapegoat mechanism (nb41) to explain why standard DAOs score 10/12 and fail structurally. Demonstrates that DAO members join and vote through congregation-identity void dynamics, making token-weighted voting ritually corrupted by Pe > 0 identity pressure. Maps four documented DAO failures (Beanstalk, MakerDAO, Compound, Nouns DAO) onto the Girard C_ZERO crossing framework. Proves the scored monarchy is the null-congregation governance form — the monastery model at Pe ≈ 0 — the only governance architecture below the 5/12 historical floor.
