That's just one illustration of the fact that many questions can't be solved simply by contracts between two individuals.
Then involve exactly as many individuals needed and no more, with no further powers granted to the association. Free association.
Many questions concern a collective, so how should the collective decide if people don't wanna grant every individual a veto against the rest?
Collectives that want this extent of power over individuals should be dissolved. Free association means that no collective is permanent.
Instead of a road, lets say a community discuss if the economy should be planned and socialized or consist of co-ops on a market?
Why does this need to be discussed and why are those the only options? Why does a local economy have to fit one size?
How about this: multiple, overlapping economies. Or maybe just no economy whatsoever. I really don't care about what some hypothetical economy looks like tbh.

No economy whatsover? Back to hunters and gatherers?
How are we gonna replace capitalism and state of we have no idea of an alternative, if we don't care about proposing a hypothetical economy?

Anarchy has endless possibilities. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for everyone.

Such as, if U make a quick outline of one variety?

I make a thing for myself. I make another variety of the same thing and give it away.
I make a thing for myself and keep it.
I make a thing and exchange it for another thing I need.
I don't make a thing. But I am given the thing I thought about making. I reciprocate with a favor later on.
Can you even make an outline of an economy based on those vague examples?

Why would you replace something you don't need.
PragmaticPaul OP wrote
State and capitalism should be replaced precisely because we don't need them, that is anarchist societies should take their place. But what should be the structure of anarchy, the institutional framework? What promotes maximum freedom for all?
