Editing Intransitivity (section)

== Likelihood ==

It has been suggested that [[Condorcet method|Condorcet voting]] tends to eliminate "intransitive loops" when large numbers of voters participate because the overall assessment criteria for voters balances out.  For instance, voters may prefer candidates on several different units of measure such as by order of social consciousness or by order of most fiscally conservative.

In such cases intransitivity reduces to a broader equation of numbers of people and the weights of their units of measure in assessing candidates.

Such as:

* 30% favor 60/40 weighting between social consciousness and fiscal conservatism
* 50% favor 50/50 weighting between social consciousness and fiscal conservatism
* 20% favor a 40/60 weighting between social consciousness and fiscal conservatism

While each voter may not assess the units of measure identically, the trend then becomes a single [[Probability vector|vector]] on which the [[Consensus decision-making|consensus]] agrees is a preferred balance of candidate criteria.
