# Governance Frameworks
> **Machine-Evolution Nexus:** [[articles/Digital Darwinism and the Invisible World of Machine Evolution|Digital Darwinism and the Invisible World of Machine Evolution]] provides the evolutionary and computational context for this supporting concept.
**Domain:** Governance / Institutions
**Doc Type:** Supporting Canonical Node
**Maturity:** Developed
## Definition
Governance frameworks are the rules, roles, procedures and enforcement systems through which collective decisions and conflicts are handled.
## Nexus Context
Digital populations require governance of replication, resources, modification, exit and recognition. These functions cannot be reduced to a technical objective alone.
