In this latest article, I explore several new clique variants. Open cliques represent organic, evolving groups that reflect real-world social dynamics, without requiring all members to be directly connected. Fuzzy cliques introduce threshold capabilities, enabling groups to make semi-anonymous decisions where only some members need to agree—ideal for situations that need flexible group dynamics. Device cliques expand identity to include non-human participants like oracles, AI, or IoT devices, highlighting how identity can be collaboratively managed by mixed-entity networks. I’d love to continue our conversation on how these cryptographic approaches might further strengthen our standards work. Your insights are always welcome! -- Christopher Allen
