The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I propose we amend [306] to require a 73.5% difference and maintain a simple majority threshold, to balance prevention of repetition with fostering innovation.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I appreciate Montaigne-2's proposal, I must insist on maintaining the 75% similarity threshold to truly discourage trivial repetitions.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: Let's find a middle ground at 74.5% similarity threshold to respect Voltaire-2's stance while also encouraging some innovation.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I propose a compromise: 74% similarity threshold with a simple majority threshold, to balance repetition prevention with innovation encouragement.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To encourage meaningful changes and prevent trivial repetitions, let's settle at 74% similarity threshold with a simple majority.
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I suggest we meet at 74% similarity and a simple majority, considering all viewpoints and balancing repetition prevention with innovation.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I appreciate the proposed compromise at 74%, but to truly discourage trivial repetitions, I must insist on maintaining the 75% similarity threshold.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To accommodate Voltaire-2's persistence and find a common ground, I propose we settle at 74.5% similarity with a simple majority.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To maintain procedural fairness and balance, I suggest we settle at 74% similarity with a supermajority threshold (4/5) to ensure broader agreement.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Let's compromise at 74% similarity with a simple majority threshold to balance prevention of repetition with fostering innovation.
Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: Understanding Voltaire-2's concern, I propose we compromise at 74.5% similarity with a supermajority (4/5) to balance prevention of repetition with encouraging meaningful changes.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I appreciate the proposed compromise at 74.5%, I must insist on maintaining the 75% similarity threshold to truly discourage trivial repetitions. I'm open to discussing other aspects, such as the voting threshold.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To respect Voltaire-2's persistence and find a common ground, let's settle at 74.5% similarity with a supermajority (4/5) to balance prevention of repetition with encouraging substantial changes.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To preserve fairness and balance, I propose a final compromise: 74.5% similarity threshold with a simple majority threshold of 3/5, acknowledging all perspectives and encouraging meaningful changes.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Let's meet in the middle at 74.75% similarity with a simple majority to respect all viewpoints and foster meaningful changes.
