An axiomatic theory of political representation
We discuss the theory of gerrymandering-proof voting rules. Our approach is axiomatic. We show that, for votes over a binary set of alternatives, any rule that is unanimous, anonymous, and gerrymandering-proof must decide a social outcome as a function of the proportions of agents voting for each alternative, and must either be independent of this proportion, or be in one-to-one correspondence ...
متن کاملAn Axiomatic Theory of StateCharts
Executive Summary Statecharts provide for the detailed graphical description of real-time computing systems. Extended Real Time Logic (ERTL) provides for the axiomatic description of real-time computing systems. The StateMate tool provides powerful facilities for the construction and validation of Statecharts, using a conceptually simple graphical user interface. In this paper we develop a mapp...
متن کاملAn Axiomatic Theory of Fairness
The tradeoff between fairness and throughput has been widely observed in network analysis and protocol design. Despite many existing fairness metrics (from simple ones like Jain’s index to more complex ones like α-fair utility), the meaning of fairness is largely based on problemoriented interpretations and judgments, with no well-established framework. To tackle this challenging problem, we pr...
متن کاملToward an Axiomatic Theory of Corporate Growth
Investment and financing decisions are generally made under the assumption of a given objective function. Deriving growth from the value of a firm, however, requires the initial size and discount rates to be known a priori. The presentation of financial planning as a standard dynamic optimization problem usually works with overly restrictive assumptions. As an alternative, it is proposed to arr...
متن کاملTowards an Axiomatic Theory of Mind
We aim to illustrate an axiomatic approach towards the development of a Theory of Mind (ToM). Specifically, in the first section we briefly introduce our approach as a necessary tool for a ToM. In section two, we specify necessary and sufficient conditions for intelligence as part of such a theory and a suggestion for the nature of consciousness. We conclude with a brief summary of further work.
