# Organizations

* It's hard to become an organization: to become one you need to e.g. own one of only 1000 organization tokens
* Organizations must keep merkle trees of their state; each time a server syncs with another server from another organization, it needs to attach a proof that what they're claiming is written in the organization's merkle log. That log is kept on Mel.
* This log is used to as rock-solid evidence in human courts for deciding cases of cheating, both in game play and in markets
  * maybe not in markets? organizations can decide to be cheating scammers in-game

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ostomo.gitbook.io/ostomo-notes/organizations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
