As time continued, the community realized that keeping the process alive required constant attention.
Habits can weaken if people assume they will continue automatically. So the leaders, teachers, and citizens worked together to keep the system active in everyday life.
One way they did this was through regular public reviews.
Every few years, the community held large meetings where major systems were examined openly. These reviews included energy supply, water use, environmental health, economic stability, education quality, and public safety.
Reports were presented in clear language so that ordinary citizens could understand them. Experts explained the data, but they were also required to answer questions from the public.
This kept decision-making transparent.
People trusted the system because they could see how it worked.
Another important practice was long-term planning groups.
