My frustration with Sinnreich & Gilbert's The Secret Life of Data continues. How can scholars who came up with this great layered definition of data, information, & knowledge then make the statement, "Democracy is...enacted through algorithms?"

Algorithms operate on data, not the other layers.

Democracy is, and has always been, enacted through algorithms. We don't mean computer programs, obviously, but rather algorichms in the broader sense of the word: clear operating guidelines based on quantifable and reproducible protocols and procedures.
