I posted:
1. The choice of a way of voting to affect the outcome in a certain way under certain specified conditions, when there isn't one obvious way of voting that will always accomplish that under those conditions.
I comment:
Someone could ask me what I mean by "obvious", and I�d have to say "Leave it out."
In fact, I should change "one obvious way..." to "any way".
Maybe it should be specified that it could refer to a way of voting by some group of voters, rather than necessarily just one voter, but that seems implied by the fact that I didn�t say different.
The premise conditions of SFC & GSFC are specified conditions such as I refer to in that strategy definition.
This definition and one of the ones that I posted yesterday are just for the purpose of saying what isn�t needed by some voters when the method is one that meets SFC or GSFC. Just for the purpose of saying what "strategy" means in the name "Strategy-Free-Criterion" or "Generalized Strategy-Free Criterion".
I�m not saying that this definition, or the one that I posted yesterday for the same purpose, couldn�t use any improvement, but they�re my best versions at this time.
