Constitutional Governance in Metric Spaces (opens in new tab)

Computational social choice and algorithmic decision theory offer rich aggregation theory but no end-to-end, polynomial-time process for egalitarian self-governance: prior work treats aggregation, deliberation, amendment, and consensus in isolation, and key metric-space aggregators are NP-hard. We propose constitutional governance in metric spaces, integrating these stages into one polynomial-time process. The constitution assigns, per amendable...
