Pangea Arbitration Token (PAT) is a sort of security token for the Pangea jurisdiction, a DBVN that is hosted on top of a network-state like Ethereum. PAT secures the jurisdiction by being a sort of “social mining”, which rewards Bitnation Citizens for build-up of reputation within a free market for voluntary nations.
Within the nation-state paradigm, citizenship has been in the form of a “social contract”, and the Pangea Arbitration Token (PAT) does similar functions as the Westphalian social contract, tough in an opt-in and voluntary way. To get a voluntary citizenship, a user deploys a new contract PangeaVoluntaryCitizenship.
This contract, that acts as an extension of the persons social cognition, has the rules for the three reputation proofs that form the “reputation web” on Pangea, proof-of-agreement (PoA), proof-of-nomic (PoN) and proof-of-collective (PoC). The contract is then used as a sort of (pseudo-anonymous) user profile, when forming agreements and completing those agreements, participating in curating contracts and legal codes by “upvoting” those contacts, and co-ordination around shared legal codes.
The idea of Lucy as an “autonomous agent” that knits together the reputation web on Pangea
The Pangea Arbitration Token (PAT) as the same form of infrastructure as the Westphalian “social contract” means that it is a very laborious system, and so the “central operating unit” has been given a symbolic name in itself, that of Lucy, from the Au. afarensis fossil that was discovered in 1974. The name points to the complexity of knitting together PoN, PoA and PoC trails, and that Lucy is a sort of early version of an artificial general intelligence (AGI), which will eventually evolve into an AGI. So Lucy is the frontal lobe of the internet, if you will, a global social cognition for eusocial coordination.
This really sounds exciting and I love reading more and more about it! Thanks for sharing about it yet again.
How would Lucy really work and who is going to oversee her operation? It's going to be a distributed system, right?

The network-state (BitLattice is the most promising at the moment, but Ethereum is up and running so most is focused on that) oversees the state of contracts, including Lucy as a smart contract, and then the PAT holders secure the Pangea jurisdiction (also a smart contract) which oversees Lucy, so the token holders show, by having an incentive to audit Lucy and so on, that it is operating as it should (eg. quite pointless to hold PAT if the incentive network that Lucy operates, proof-of-agreement, proof-of-nomic and proof-of-collective, is not functioning or has a bug, just like ETH only has value because the state is operating as it should. )
Another possibility at the "consensus state" level is proof-of-power, that oversees the state through majority consensus, which I think would be more secure than proof-of-work or proof-of-stake,

Thank you for yet another clarification! :)
So if I have understood correctly, the exact way in which Lucy will function is not developed yet? But it's basically a smart contract running on top of the blockchain, right?

PAT is very complex as far as I got in to it... I get that it's an utility token, but does it add anything for holders? Is there a revenue share of some sort?

The idea is that PAT will pay for transaction fees on the DBNV, similar to how ETH pays for transaction fees on the state, and that those transaction fees go as sort of "mining rewards" for accumulating reputation. Besides that, PAT could get broader uses as it is already used for core things like reputation on Pangea and therefore broadly adopted to begin with. If the "reputation web" is as much a core infrastructure as the "consensus state" it lives on, then PAT would more or less be similar to ETH. What is the value of ETH? To pay for GAS, and then because it has a core value, it can easily be used for other things as well, as a store of value, as a medium of exchange.

What BitNation is doing, is awesome. The idea of being able to create Compacts enforceable in International Law thru dapps, with the services needed to be considered an 'effective Nation' is remarkable.
But, it appears that there is still a missing fundamental element to securing and enforcing freedoms of People, via forming Compacts to secure rights.
"status, rights, privileges, and responsibilities of a citizen"
Worldwide court cases are clear, that a Citizen has a status without Standing, the citizen is 'free' via proxy to the Sovereign, and equally clear that the rights of Citizens are granted and therefore can be un-granted. Privileges are Civil Rights, ie - Granted Privileges.
Citizen is a synonym to Subject, ie Subject to 'someone'. The Word 'Citizen' sounds more benevolent than 'Subject'. Interestingly enough, for those who claim to be Non-Citizen 'Nationals', they wonder why the Courts never rule in their favor, is because Nationals are also a Synonym to Subject.
It's only when you form a Compact, that International Law recognizes your Sovereignty -"To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men". But, Citizens are NOT party "to" Compacts, instead they are Subjects "of" Compacts.
IMHO
