This idea, which traces back to the path-breaking work of Charles Dodgson (a.k.a. Lewis Carroll, author of the children's classic *Alice in Wonderland*), who also first posed the question of weighting of votes for people holding multiple votes that helped inspire QV.[^Carroll] LD extends the idea of proportional representation, allowing any voter to delegate their vote(s) to others, who may then re-delegate them, allowing bottom-up, emergent patterns of representation.[^PICSY] Such systems are increasingly common, especially in corporate and other for-profit (e.g. DAO) governance, as well as in a limited set of political contexts such as Iceland. However, these systems have an unfortunate tendency to concentrate power often excessively, given that delegation often flows to a small number of hands. This tendency has somewhat soured initial enthusiasm. +Another compatible approach that has gained ground in recent years is "liquid democracy"(LD).

While he initially developed it independently from Kojin Karatani, he later joined the New Associationist Movement.

Unlike LQ, divicracy includes not only delegation of one's vote to others but also splitting one's vote to multiple political issues. Divicracy is a political extension of the concept, "dividual", by the influential 20-century French philosopher, Gilles Deleuze, allowing diverse and potentially contradictory ideas within a person as opposed to the "individual" concept of identity. Suzuki introduced the concept in 2000s and elaborated in his book in 2013. Ken Suzuki, "The Nameraka Society and its Enemies", Keiso Shobo Publishing (2013). ### Frontiers of voting
