Earlier I said that the machine should be deterministic. The one exception would have to be when applying an election method to assigned strategies yields an exact tie, and there's no way to resolve it by applying some other analysis to the information available. I don't know how this affects matters. I've heard it stated that the GS Theorem only applies to deterministic methods, and I don't know what the GS theorem says about exact ties. Alex
