Winning

 

I’m A Loser

What have I done to deserve such a fate?
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be 

What does it mean to “lose” an election.

Our constitution is based on the fact that “We the People” are the sovereign, the absolute. The people elect those who will execute sovereignty as the representative of themselves. The winner of an election is certain, but while the absolute can be true, a “win” only demonstrates dominance. It does not, and can not, indicate truth.

Am outcome matrix/table will demonstrate this fact. An outcome matrix has FOUR cells. The certainty is the value of the ENTIRE matrix. But there are THREE outcomes in any game, Win, Loss, AND Tie. In order to fit these three outcomes into a four cell outcome matrix, it is useful to treat the sum of false wins and false losses as a tie. That means that an absolute loss is just as certain as an absolute win. Win and losses, or true and false, are only the row, or the column. marginals of the outcome matrix, table, not the entire table. An outcome matrix with a certainty of 100%, can be certainly true, or certainly false. The outcome matrix would reflect the absolute if the value of ANY of the four cells in that outcome matrix are 100%, but it will always reflect certainty if the TOTAL of all of the cells is 100%.  Winning is only two of three outcomes.  A win will be the sum of  true wins and false wins.  Winning an election is no different.  It might be a win, and that win might be real and certain but not be true. The win would be real if all of the cells of the outcome matrix are greater than zero, but that win might not be true.
