Hi all, in summer I launched a Minimal Viable Product version of an interactive web-app for collective decisions that are fairer than majority voting and more efficient than traditional consensus procedures: vodle.it. It is based on my earlier theoretical research on probabilistic social choice mechanisms and promises to lead to better decisions in terms of ethical welfare metrics.
Now I seek early adopters / beta-testers, and also collaborators for this open-source project, the next milestone being a V1.0 release.
This is awesome!
I mean, I think it is, but I need to understand it more fully. I just really like the tricks so far, and haven't evaluated what they're optimal for yet. :P
A wap is a measure of how much you'd be willing to let your approval of x override others' underapproval of x? (Where "underapproval" is just assigning a wap<r)
Does the method have a name? Is it similar to anything else? The % conditional approval thing has assurance-contracty vibes, but it does more.
