<div dir="ltr"><div>Kevin--</div><div> </div><div>You mentioned that I spoke of maybe limiting CD to 3 candidates. You spoke of possible non-comply-able-ness if C were replaced with a C clone-set {C1, C2...}</div><div> </div>
<div>I myself don't and didn't know what would be the effect of letting C be a clone-set instead of a single candidate.</div><div> </div><div>I want to say that, because the chicken dilemma has always been spoken of in terms of only 3 candidates,and because every chicken dilemma vulnerable method I know of fails 3-candidate CD, and because i don't know the compliance properties of more general CDs, I now hereby define CD in terms of only 3 candidates.</div>
<div> </div><div>I do so largely for simplicity, and for easier compliance-determinations.</div><div> </div><div>Now, when I say "CD", I'm referring to 3-candidate CD.</div><div> </div><div>If A, B, &/or C is allowed, in the premise, to be replaced by a clone-set, then I call that "CD(clone). If it's desired to refer to which candidate(s) is/are allowed in the premise to be replaced by a clone-set, then I call that CD(cloneA), CD(cloneA,B,C), CD(cloneA, C), ...etc.</div>
<div> </div><div>If other candidates in addition to A, B, and C, other than just their clones, are permitted in the premise, I call that CD(other candidates).</div><div> </div><div>If both things are allowed in the premise, then I call that CD(clones, other candidates). As before, "clones" could be followed by "A" &/or "B" &/or "C".</div>
<div> </div><div>CD(clones, other candidates) could be called CD(both)</div><div> </div><div>All of those CDs other than 3-candidate CD, I'll collectively refer to as CD(more general), or More General CD.</div><div> </div>
<div>To repeat, when say "CD", I'm referring to 3-candidate CD.</div><div> </div><div>If More General CD is passed by everything that passes CD, and is failed by everything that fails CD, then of course More General CD would serve no purpose. </div>
<div> </div><div>If nothing can pass all or some More General CDs, then they, too, would serve no purpose.</div><div> </div><div>If a More General CD is passed by some, but not all, methods that pass CD, then that would make it relevant and useful. Then, I'd prefer the methods that pass it. </div>
<div> </div><div>But I don't now anything about More General CDs' compliances. (what methods comply with them).</div><div> </div><div>Michael Ossipoff</div><div> </div></div>
