You’ve alluded to this design several times already in the book. It may not be necessary to include this as a main book chapter, but having it as an appendix might be appropriate.
You’re right he’s been alluding to this the whole time, but this felt like a very important and needed chapter for me.
An unspoken question most readers will have for the author up until this point in the book has been “so what do you think we should do?” And here he definitely answers it, most importantly with a high level graphic explaining the full structure.
I don’t think the previous allusions to multi-body sortition were specific and cohesive enough to warrant getting rid of this chapter.
honestly, i would almost prefer this, with the infographic, to just be smack in the front of the book. almost like the map is often placed in fantasy novels :)
I’m really looking forward to actual examples of sortition and citizen assemblies. You have been mentioning all kinds of sortition, but it’s hard for me to grasp how this would go on the ground, so examples would be really helpful.
I don't have a hand-out about multi-body design. If an audience is new to sortition, I doubt that level of specificity is useful anyway. As for "old" It doesn't have the Coordination Council, and uses the word "volunteer, though the idea is to use the two round lottery with Stratified sampling... NOT people who put themselves forward. There is one other crude graphic of multi-body flow in this paper on page 5 https://www.academia.edu/11673683/An_Idealized_Design_for_the_Legislative_Branch_of_Government
If you need an artist/graphic designer to update this, my brother in law is a professional artist and sortition advocate. He actually initially turned me onto sortition. His name is Chris Doucette. You can get a hold of him here: https://www.artbychrisdoucette.com/
Sorta similar to what Corbin said, I think the graphic would benefit from clearer illustration of how information flows through the system. It might be as simple as making the arrows from one panel to the next darker (it took me until the 3 time looking at the graphic to even realize they existed; they’re so light). It could also be a bigger change where instead of a graphic organized as a 1 dimensional line, you break out the Panels into 2 dimensions and rearrange the Panels such that their interaction with other Panels is clear.
These are just suggestions to my main point, there’s an opportunity here for a graphic to not just show the components of system, but how information and deliberation move through those components.

There are several English errors in this chapter.

hi, the infographic is referred to as ’old’. Is there newer material available?

also, we should create a graphic showing the flow of the various humanities-studied facts and how the core issues arise from them
