IDs to AKs (access keys)
The state used to be very organic, primarily about herding people with analog means. The future of the state will be more about maintaining infrastructure machines, with digital means, it makes more sense to organize that around keys than ids. Also getting rid of people-databases, negates many of the risks anybody could use it for organizing a holocaust type event.

Security becomes maintenance
In the past a security concern of agrarian villages was primitive bio/chemical attacks. Like poising the well or fouling up the grain-silo. They kept watch as mitigation. We still think in those terms. But in the long run it'll be easier and more effective to use sensors and filters to deal with the introduction of harmful substances. The security problem gets transformed into a matter of maintenance.

From mass surveillance to narrow beam surveillance
Mass surveillance is a massive security threat, the broader it is the more its capacity to evaluate data gets diluted. And then it becomes very vulnerable to narrowly focused manipulation attacks. This dynamic worsens over time until eventually manipulators manage to start a feed-back loop that eats the hole thing. The solution is narrow beam surveillance that never dilutes it's evaluation capacity and avoids all of this.

Practically it means capping surveillance at a super low percentage like 0.%1 to 0.3% of society. The tools for surveillance also change, it becomes forensic. Towards making objective and accurate measurements rather than collecting observations, more analytical than interpretative.

legal reform
We have too many rules and the rules usually can't be understood by non legal experts. People represent a bottleneck. They have a fixed number of rules they can remember/follow and there also is limit to how complex those rules can be. We're basically ignoring those physical limitations at present and we probably shouldn't.

We got rid of many victimless-crime rules, like blasphemy-laws. But we also invented new ones.
We got rid of imaginary crimes, that served no purpose other than upholding aristocratic privilege. But again we invented new ones. I want some kind of opt-out mechanism to negate this perversion of justice. I'm still looking for a sensible way to achieve this.

stick and carrot policing
Currently policing is entirely based on punishment, there are no rewards. That's not an effective incentive mechanism. I propose we keep traditional punitive policing for the hard crimes like murder, assault, kidnapping, blackmail and so on. But flip the script for the rest.

We introduce reward-detectives that try to find examples of exceptionally ethical-conduct and dole out rewards. They will have to investigate very thoroughly and prove said ethical-conduct with as much rigor as would be required for establishing guilt.

Now here comes the kicker, people don't agree on a single definition of "ethical-conduct" and now they don't have to. We'll do multiple reward-polices that reward according to different ethical-norms. That creates a culture of venerating role-models instead of hunting witches.

spies and secrets
During the first cold war last century, states became much more secretive. The utility of which was dubious at best.

There was a lot of secrecy around technology that the military wanted to monopolize. That made tactical sense, if your battle instrument is more advanced, you gain a combat advantage. But this also meant a huge strategical disadvantage of depriving the rest of your civilian economy from exploiting the more advanced instruments. Which means less economic power and ultimately less military power too.

I think secrecy should be limited to operational security for spies. Considering that my system does not have IDs or excessive surveillance that should be much easier to achieve.

political system
I think we should go for a sortition democracy, that randomly selects a representative sample of the population. Where people are polled for policy priorities via a referendum-type feed-back mechanism.

But we probably should keep the electoral system in parallel for the purpose of testing whether sortitian actually does better. Not just in terms of quality of political decisions, but also which system people prefer to interact with.

Military
The masses get arms and training for pecking occupation attempts into submission. On top of that there will be a small professional military that specializes in deep strikes for degrading enemy war-production and interdiction.
