 The Hamming distance was a commonly used distance in belief revision. The idea is simple. The Hamming distance counts the number of propositional letters on which two interpretations differ. So, for example, if \(\omega = (1, 0, 0)\) and \(\omega' = (0, 1, 0)\), we have that \(d(\omega, \omega') = 2\) as the two interpretations differ on the assignment to the first and the second propositions. Also well known is the drastic distance, which assigns distance 0 if two interpretations are the same and 1 otherwise. But the choice of the distance is not restricted to those options. Other distances can be used, that still satisfy the postulates given above (Konieczny and Pino Pérez 1999, 2002). The minimization of the sum of the individual distances is an example of an IC majority merging operator. In the next section, we will see this operator applied to the discursive dilemma.
