Phenomenal framing of multisig as organizationl infrastructure rather than just cryptographic tooling. Your observation that Conway's Law reverses itself in onchain contexts is particularly insightful: the protocol enforces communication patterns on the org, not the other way around. The section on how "multisig time" reshapes tempo and forces asynchronous consesus captures something most technical writeups miss entirely. Organizations literally absorb the structure of their coordination tools, which means multisig design is actualy governance design in disguise.
Overall, it feels like it’s really useful to see the tech that is creating affordances / constraints at an org design level. Feels like a lot isn’t just software, but actually org design decisions but made from a tech perspective, not HR Policy anymore. Of course, easy to argue this isn’t “new” but probably warrants more attention to it for contemporary management
Thanks for writing this, it clarifies a lot. The "collective action of consensus" part realy resonated with me. It reminds me of the coordinated movements in my Pilates class, where everyone contributes to a shared goal. Very insightful stuff on multisig.
