100 intersubjective membership

eigen layer recently introduced the idea of an "intersubjective work token."

why are many excited about this? intersubjectivity has been a thing that smart contracts have had difficulty accounting for: an objective outcome that requires opinion and consensus. and this mechanism provides a way to make forking easier based on social consensus.

but why should anyone care? are there consumer use cases?

here's one: imagine a membership token where the group wants to revoke the membership for an individual.

they can vote to fork the token with an updated balance that excludes the exiled.
