[EM] DYN

[Forest W Simmons]

True, it would be confusing to explain DYN as a form of asset voting, 
but it could be done. Here is its purest form:

Each voter gets one vote per candidate.  The voter delegates each vote 
to a candidate (the one that she wants to make responsible for   
getting a Y or N attached to that vote). 

If you want a sure Y, then delegate it to the candidate in question.

If you want a sure N, delegate it to the candidate's strongest enemy.

Each ballot is encoded as a square matrix of zeros and ones.  If the 
row i column j entry is a one, then on that ballot the Y/N decision 
regarding candidate i has been delegated to candidate j. 

After these matrices have been summed, each proxy has a multiset of 
votes (the respective columns of the sum, so interpreted).

The elements of these multisets are subject to horse trading.

When the horse trading is finished, the proxies decide the Y/N status 
of each of the votes for which they have become responsible.

The candidate with the greatest number of Y's is elected.

Check: for each candidate the sum of the Y's and N's should be the 
same, namely the total number of ballots.
