Some Philosophical Detours

• We find it interesting that DAO is pronounced the same way in a Chinese word "道". The saying by Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, "道可道, 非常道", meaning that "the true way cannot be taught", precisely depicts the intricacies of DAO.
• The idea of timed stop follows what Neo–Confucian philosopher Wang Yangming said "你未看此花时，此花与汝同归于寂；你来看此花时，则此花颜色一时明白起来", which means that "the flower only blooms when you see it". By analogy to this, the poll only stops when someone checks it status, such as voting or reviewing results, in this contract. Aave also updates its interest rates in a similar way.
