I've just realized that "disregard cyclical defeats" i(where a
cyclical defeat is a defeat that's in a cycle) isn't enough to define
the Schwartz set. But (looking at this for the first time) I don't
know if it would be enough to gain MMC and Clone-Independence.
Anyway, Symmetrical-IC-Schwartz-Top would say:
Determine the Schwartz-set, by the Symmetrical IC definition of
"beat", and elect the Schwartz-set's most top-ranked member (To rank a
candidate at top is to not rank anyone over hir).
[end of
Or maybe the following slightly different method would be ok (it would
have to have a different name):
"Beats" is defined by Symmetrical IC.
Disregard any defeat that's in a cycle.
If exactly one candidate is unbeaten, s/he wins.
If all or no candidates are unbeaten, then elect the most top-ranked candidate.
If some, but not all, candidates are unbeaten, then elect the most
top-ranked unbeaten candidate.
[end of definition of un-named alternative method]
