I have been thinking on how to define laws that take effect only on the people that agree with them. The main problem in this case is that each person would define laws for himself and reject the laws of the others.
The solution that I found is a very simple one. Each one of us can decide to extend his laws to other people and then decide on the laws in a democratic way.
What I think will happen is that the boundaries of the sets will stabilize.
Let me give you an example:
Let's say that 3 people are in a neighborhood and the 2 people decide that it is prohibited to smoke. They extend that law to the other person. For the other person to change this law, he would have to extend this law to other people that agree with him. Others that do not live in this neighborhood will not care for the applicability of that law and will be indifferent. (except due to other reasons). On the contrary, smokers of the neighborhood will join the democratic process and will reject that law.
As we understand from the example, the majority will always win when they care to participate in the democratic process. That allows laws to be applied only to specific people without having to define the boundaries based on a priori knowledge of the locality of the problem.
For example, Laws to protect the environment will be applied globally, because all the people of the earth will be interested in them. The boundary of the set will be formed naturally.
