You don’t understand it correctly.
This is not an alteration to the way voting is done on proposals and uses valueless tokens that are just an abstraction of approval or disapproval.
The intermediary process uses a separate token used specifically within a system that works more-or-less like a filter for ideas, using a “gamified” version of staking in which the YES side and NO side try to gain a majority staking dominance. You’re not adding collateral, each user is just adding to one side of the “pool”, not both.
The fact that there is a limited time to stake on all of the ideas, which cycle like cohorts, lasting for a set amount of time. The fact that voting power is diminished the more you add to one idea promotes interaction outside of your top one or two ideas of the cohort.
