@jack-waugh said in Making Voters Equal in Power:
In principle, this is an infinite recursion.
And hence, "hall of mirrors."
In practice, my iterative vote simulator stops when the ordering of candidates doesn't change between two rounds. Since the ordering is all the "vote caster" algorithm looks at, there is no point continuing because it will always get the same result.
But keep in mind, that doesn't mean it has reached the one and only equilibrium. There can be multiple equilibria.
But again, I'd rather have a method that doesn't encourage this sort of thing. If I did a vote simulator for Condorcet, there would be very little, if any, iterating, since there isn't an obvious way to adjust your ballot even if you know how others will vote.
