{{#set:Width=17}}

In broad-based decision guidance

In designs for broad-based decision guidance, the width property quantifies the effective range of formal inter-candidate choice that is always present to an ordinary participant in the guideway. Typical values are:

Width	Meaning	Symbol
1	The participant can approve as by a petition signature, but cannot formally disapprove. Or the participant can disapprove as by a veto, but cannot formally approve.
2	The participant can formally express either approval or disapproval, or either of another pair of explicit choices.
877	Large. There is a limit, but it is large.	n
888	Unbounded. There is no limit, or the limit is just what inheres in the guideable issue itself.	∞

The range quantified is effective in that each candidate within is an effective choice in regard to guidance; if the candidate is chosen by a sufficient number of participants, then the guidance will vary according to that choice. The range quantified is that available to participants, which excludes the choice of non-participation. Finally, the range quantified is that of inter-candidate choice, which excludes in-candidate mutability.
