 The Hong-Page structure of group deliberation, outlined in the context of computational philosophy of science above, can also be taken as a model of “deliberative democracy” beyond a simple vote. The success of deliberation in a group can be measured as the average value height of points found. In a representative instantiation of this kind of deliberation, smaller groups of individuals first use their individual heuristics to explore a landscape collectively, then handing their collective “best” for each point on the landscape to a representative. In a second round of deliberation, the representatives work from the results from their constituents in a second round of exploration.
