Line 4:
#Optionally define a proportion of the votes ''q'' as the minimum necessary on the winning side of a pairwise comparison for this win to be counted. Set it to zero to do without ''q''.
#The voter submits a ranked ballot, with equal-ranking and truncation permitted. Let ''v'' signify the total number of voters.
#A voter implicitly ''approves'' every candidate whom he explicitly ranks.
#Let v[a,b] signify the number of voters ranking candidate ''a'' above candidate ''b'', and let t[a,b] signify the number of voters ranking ''a'' and ''b'' equally at the top of the ranking (possibly tied with other candidates).
#Define a set ''S'' of candidates, which contains every candidate ''x'' for whom there is no other candidate ''y'' such that v[x,y]+t[x,y]<v[y,x] ''and'' v[y,x]>''qv''.
