Line 1: = An upgrade to the spatial model of voters = In the following article, I'll explain a possible alternate [[spatial model of ~~voters~~voting]], which is an upgrade of the typical geometric model and contains it as a special case. I believe this model encapsulates many important aspects that have been missing from most analyses so far. But remember, it's still just a ''model''. Line 31: This kind of model has been used extensively in political polls for decades. The popular website [https://isidewith.com/ I Side With] uses a very similar model. Of course, there's the ~~problem~~question of how can we treat similar answers as compatible. It is possible to formally justify this, but that's a much deeper ~~problem~~discussion. Since this is just a justification of a mathematical model for simulations, we don't really need to worry about it too much. ==== Stances ====
