ABSTRACT:
Democracy is distinguished by optimal
integration of diverse public values, identifying the most encompassing set of
mutually accepted elements defining the contemporary circumstance. Individual
orderings are integrated into a continuum by rearranging common elements into
conformity with every other ordering. Sequencing common elements differently,
translation from individual to individual occurs by reordering elements in an
understanding according to sequencing of another understanding. Utilizing the reordering
process, apparent contradiction between concepts is eliminated, each smoothly
transitioning into its opposite, fusing all into a transmutative whole. By this
function, an axiom system can be generated from its constituent axioms in any
order.
