Property:Width
Property width specifies the extent from side to side. It is specified as number. For example:
{{#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.1 | ∞ |
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.2 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.
Notes
- ^ Where the actual range for an issue is 50, a width of 50 is just what inheres in the issue itself. Therefore it is recorded as 888.
- ^ It follows that the width is zero whenever the guidance cannot be varied.
