I dont know what is best. What is the goal having this information there serves ? I think there are 3 or 4 levels/classes of information that could be provided at highest level, listing the properties of the vote system A. (this is not intended to be an exhaustive list but rather list the points which actually change the real world behavior of the vote) For example does it conform to to the condorcet criterion for single winner elections Or with multiwinner elections, is there some sort of proportionality, that is can 51% of voters control all seats or can any 20% of voters generally control one of 5 seats. B. at the next lower level, the academic algorithm could be referenced, this would give enough information to reproduce most votes but ties and corner cases might not be fully defined C. nipickingly precissely define the algorithm so that any list of ballots produces a clear and reproducable result or failure, tie resolution rules, ... D. Refer to an actual implementation Possible goals: understanding on the readers side of the general vote algorithm behavior, not leaving it a black box. reproducability avoiding disputes keeping the text simple allowing changes if things turn out to go wrong in some way thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB The real ebay dictionary, page 1 "Used only once" - "Some unspecified defect prevented a second use" "In good condition" - "Can be repaird by experienced expert" "As is" - "You wouldnt want it even if you were payed for it, if you knew ..."
