==Dissensus==
One of the issues they mention in the article is dissensus.
The way to create dissensus then consensus (i.e., divergence then convergence, i.e., forking then merging) in DGF would be through Forum post reference mechanisms and the Validation Pool. 

Say person1 creates a new type of REP, call it nREP, by sending a fee to the Validation pool associated with his nPost without referencing any existing post with REP. Now person1 could have been a member of an old 1REP DAO supposing they owned some 1REP. That means person1 made a hard fork from 1DAO to nDAO. That's dissent. That's divergence.

Then when another person with old REP1 cites nPost with 1REP, then she gives some 1REP to nPost. That means nPost is re-admitted to 1DAO. That's consensus. That's convergence.

Alternatively, there is another type of divergence that happens all the time in DGF, which is simply referencing different posts. When you reference one chain, but not another, then you are strengthening a subset of the DAO and not the complement of that subset. So you are creating divergences just by moving forward in time.
