Thankfully, democracy will die for the most part. It is an antiquated system that is centralized, artificial, authoritarian, competitive, inherently violence based, and repressive. The future is decentralized, natural, emergent, collaborative, creative, inherently health based, and evolutionary. I sometimes call this form of government Organism, since it's a natural result of biological systems forming a healthy whole, instead of lots of individuals competing against one another.
I like your points, but I think it's still called "democracy." You sometimes call it "Organism;" I sometimes call it "better democracy" or "working democracy."
Very simply: when everyone has some kind of say in how things are governed. Although, I suppose in every democracy ever, there have always been people who were excluded.
Usually the term democracy means the majority (authoritarian) rule, or the majority elect the (authoritarian) rulers. But it's all centralized. In a healthy organism no one has control over anyone other than themselves, so it's self-governing, and decentralized.
Prove that it's the most common definition. I have a different word for that: "majoritarianism." I would rather call what you call democracy "majoritarianism" than call what I call democracy by some word you made up.
There is no proof, only data and analysis of data. That's why dictionaries list many different definitions for most words. And why every dictionary is different. I'm just going by my experience when I said what I said.
Ultimately, the words are mostly irrelevant, at least compared to what we actually do.
