More on why candidates running to be a mayor should regard it as a fundamental rule of thumb that in an Alternative Vote election, more than extra 37.5% extra...
I must have lots of messages and keep them short, confesses the person I named Bathycles Zero. ... Mr Mike Ossipoff misspelt his name 79 times between 13...
Date: 19-Apr-2002 Solve the 1 winner 4 candidate preferential voting problem using IFPP axioms (and doing any fixing of the axioms them as needed). This was...
... Indeed there are 4 lobes. Also there are 2 types of lobes: * the 3 through the faces (A)-(B)-(C), (A)-(B)-(D), (A)-(C)-(D); * the lobe that is opposite to...
An obvious question is: do the boundaries between B,C,D that are fully expressing the proportional but-up, contain and tilt at the FPTP (b=c)(..) or (b=d)(..)...
Due to a dynamite in the political pool discovery of Mr Brian Wichmann in which it was found that over 50% of the winners in a STV could be the normal figure...
For this next collection of papers, the solution can be nicely plotted in a tetrahedron (using using custom simple software): A AB AC AD B BA BC BD C D The...
Date: 21 June 2002. The end stage of the derivation of the IFPP solution to the 6 paper problem was quite algebraic and visualising what happened almost can't...
Here are simpler versions of these equations that carve up the region where the proportionality drop-in is done for the 1 winner 4 candidate 6 paper problem...
I reply to some weak comments of Mr Moore. An extraordinary amount of ignoring of what I write is being done by Mr Moore. So far Mr Moore has not let slip out,...
... Mr Moore has possibly slid the meaning of the word "election" from that of being consistent with a single mathematical point in some space defined as it...
Dear Craig, ... There is no reason to believe that I "had to quit the Election Methods List". Markus Schulze P.S.: In the mentioned paper (Markus Schulze, "On...
... That simple quantifier logic equation can be evaluated in the REDUCE that is accessible through telnet. REDLOG and REDUCE can be accessed through telnet: ...
Could design an STV method that has a design like this: when it processes a paper like (A B C D E F), it could somehow rewrite that ballot paper as these 2...
A candidate can win and only just win, if it has 1/6th of the vote in a 1 winner 4 candidate election. That is true for the IFPP and the Alternative Vote. It...
This message is on the outlook in STV research ... Method redesigners can redesign the method and then STV can outwit its variant-creating attendants: to get...
New Zealand councils are not going to introduce STV, but instead they will leave it up to optional referenda. I was told that at this time, only 6 New Zealand...

Here is a excerpt from a PDF file by the authors named, and the PDF file dates itself as being of 13 August 1998. Mr Schulze (a subscriber) wrote on the...
The following shows that a huge loss of proportionality and I suppose it implies some sort of blunder in the idealism but I am not sure. Alternatively it could...

Grassmann and Clifford Algebras The is remarkably interesting Clifford algebra webpage here: http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leo/clifford/ Here are *.ps and/or...
For all those that are interested in the Lounesto contraction, I have some new algebra that derives the contraction operator. Apparently the old presentation...
BCC-ed to one mathematician. I am getting my understandings clarified. Rather than unity over Clifford geometry and the logic geometry of polytopes, what is...
An argument showing that in 3 winner elections. the 2 winner STV method must have a transfer value of 1.0 (if it is to be a good method), follows. I can't see...
The argument was incomplete. The aim of proportionality is being applied in the region around point R in the diagram. Near there, candidate A wins. The aim of...
