===Alternative formulation===
Given the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_relation binary relation] '''''Beat''''' over the set of candidates defined by:
:(X,Y) is in ''Beat'' if and only if candidate X pair-wise beats candidate Y
then the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_relation#Operations_on_binary_relations transitive-reflexive closure] of ''Beat'' is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preorder preorder] on the set of candidates, and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preorder#Formal_definition natural partial order generated from that preorder] is the beatpath order defined above.
