Why no mirror

No named theorem, lemma, corollary, or proposition asserts an algorithm, complexity bound, hardness result, or computationally used formulation. The numbered results establish axiomatic postulates and monotonicity, so computing a continuous version of RM would be a new problem rather than a mirror of a computational result in this paper.

fails bit a — no named computational result to mirror

What the mirror covers

No named computational results are covered. Theorems 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 6.1, 6.2, 7.1, and 8.2 establish postulates; Theorem 8.1 proves monotonicity.

The case FOR (proponent)

I can’t make an anchor-based case for a continuous computational mirror: the paper contains no named computational result asserting tractability, hardness, or a parameterized complexity classification.

Its numbered theorems concern axiomatic properties of RM: iso-invariance (Theorem 4.1), the dummy postulates (Theorem 4.2), dominance (Theorem 5.1), donation (Theorems 6.1 and 6.2), the minimum-power bloc postulate (Theorem 7.1), and the quarrel postulate (Theorem 8.2). Theorem 8.1 establishes monotonicity of the modified game. None is a complexity result.

The paper’s probability is over divisions of a finite set of players, and its recursive measure uses the finite lattice of those divisions. Treating that probability or those axioms as the continuized object would miss ChoCo’s population-continuization scope. Exact computation of RM could be a separate computational question, but the paper gives no named complexity result to anchor its continuous mirror.

The case AGAINST (opponent, writing after the proponent)

The proponent raises no anchor to defend: they name no theorem, lemma, or corollary about computational complexity. The numbered results establish axiomatic properties of RM; Theorem 8.1 establishes monotonicity. None classifies the cost of computing RM. A continuous version of those theorems would continue axiomatic questions, which are outside ChoCo’s scope. Computing RM for a compactly represented game could be a worthwhile new problem, but it would not mirror a computational result in this paper.

The best population scenario is a large weighted voting body with many players of the same weight. Its type distribution could describe the population, and its outcome could depend on the total yes-vote weight. But RM’s recursion averages over *one-player* changes: its loyal children remove one voter at a time. In an atomless model, an individual has zero mass, so that step—and the chance that a particular voter survives the recursive walk to a decisive division—is not specified by the mass distribution. Replacing the voter with a positive-mass atom restores the step but introduces an individually identifiable player. Defining RM as a limit of finite games instead requires choosing an approximation and normalization; those choices become extra input to the question.

That leaves a plausible asymptotic research direction, but the paper supplies neither a computational result to continuize nor a canonical continuous RM whose computation would mirror one. The negative case is strongest on that scope gap. It is not airtight against a carefully designed tagged-voter or finite-approximation theory, which could be interesting in its own right.

The adversarial triple: the proponent anchors on up to three named results; the opponent sees that case and must defeat every anchor; the judge decides which case convinced it. These are the pipeline’s own outputs, generated by tools/triple_run.py — no human edited them. The paper’s own text is not reproduced here beyond the quoted statement above.
