From Don and Terry's comments and suggestions it should be
obvious that the answers are not so obvious, and thus this is
a reasonable subject for research.
I appreciate these pointers to voting theory, and I am also
reading some of the earlier works on Agent based computing.
Agent based computing seems to have gone off in a direction
somewhat different than Minsky was writing about in "The
Society of Mind," (or at least become such a sub-specialty of
AI that it now has its own incomprehensible jargon) which is
what got me thinking about using a cluster to do these kinds
of hierarchical computations. I use the term hierarchical
because an agent may choose to call other agents to assist
in its computation, and thus it is promoted to an arbitrator of
the inputs from those agents. In this way the computation
branches into a dynamic, run time determined, tree of agents.
Or so I intend ... progress has been slow to date.
Cheers,
David
