>About recalculations, couldn’t a duplication step be included ahead of the counting? This would ensure a snapshot of the voting position remains available for reference should a malfunction / delay occur.
-Good idea!
>About formulas and making d and the process of accumulation over time more intellegible, if I get this right, the basic logic is that for proposals with a high proportion of the population voting and agreeing,
a proposal can be passed fairly quickly. Equally, if not many people are voting or agreeing, then a proposal will drag on.
-Correct.
>Explaining this in layman’s terms therefore seems pretty straightforward. You could define d=7 as corresponding to a period of one week for ratification of a vote if 100% of the population votes in favour. Accordingly, as the proportion of participation / support drops, the time for ratification increases in proportion, which ensures
no loonie proposal can be passed discreetly and quickly without proper participation and scrutiny. That would probably make it more understandable than calling it a democratic constant.
-But what would be the name for d? Participation constant?
>In regards to close calls without a clear majority, wouldn’t it actually make sense for these to drag on until a proposal is satisfactory enough for a larger support to gather and tip the balance?
-This could be discussed. There is this aspect of it, but nver the less, in real life many things seems to be quite even.
Maybe the zeroing of the accumulated support could be an option used if the proposals seems to never end in an organization.—~—~————-~—~——~——————~———-~—~——~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “top-politics” group.

For d, I guess one could call it ratification buffer. Not very inspired now, but surely we can come up with a self-explanatory name.
In regards to the zeroing, Let me get this straight. The point of zeroing the accumulated support each time the majority changes, especially when the majority changes often, is to ensure the deliberation takes longer and avoids the risk of a proposal passing without real support. What are the other aims, if any, of the zeroing step?

-No, I explanied wrongly first time. The aim is to speed up in case of a majority switch since otherwise, the accumulated support would have to decrease a time from the initial side until it could start build up on the new side. With the zeroing, this is shortened a bit since only built up on the new side has to be made before the acc. support reaces +1 or -1. The total time will be enough long anyway since we have had a switch in majority and the first side build up is “waisted” time. No other aims.
