Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

One option for a group of individuals that has to choose an alternative from a set of many alternatives is to conduct a sequence of two-way votes. Such a procedure is called a binary agenda. How does the outcome of a binary agenda depend on the sequence of choices and the individuals’ preferences? Does the outcome have desirable properties? For some agendas, in some subgame perfect equilibria with undominated voting the outcome is dominated, but in agendas in which votes successively eliminate alternatives, no such equilibrium outcome is dominated. The power of an agenda-designer to determine the outcome is investigated, as well as the nature of the equilibrium strategies in a class of agendas when the individuals have single-peaked preferences.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
