Based on Archon Fung, 2006

The three dimensions are:

1. Participation: The level of the participation in the decision making process, form the whole public to paid adminstration.
2. Authority and power to decide: From listeners to Direct authority to give orders.
3. Expertise and decision making: From layman to Experts

When one want to get to full direct democracy, there are several obsitcles.

On the participation level, many decision making take a lot of time and expertise, which consume a lot of time and resources from the citizens. Also, If we want to Unframe a decision, milions of citizens will find it hard to negotiate.
