We are looking for a way to connect an abstract top and a concrete bottom.
Obviously, if the top functions abstractly, or with language, it will always
use abstractions to relate to the bottom. Since the bottom is Many and is
always in a condition of togetherness and community, there must be a way
to relate to the real individual involved in any particular issue so as to avoid
the ambiguities caused by language. One method is to include number
into the relation that runs from the top to the bottom.Since government must
relate to the bottom by way of the relation it must include every individual at
the bottom in its resolution of any one issue. Every individual is a numerical
concept, i.e. One and s/he must be included as must everybody else. Since the
bottom is Many, it is better represented as Number. Since the bottom is many
individuals, everyone must be included in a democratic government. Number
at the bottom can be added, subtracted and divided. Hence, the resolution of
a democratic dilemma can be approached mathmatically or algorithmically.
      The proper resolution of some democratic issues should be proceedural
or jurisdictional. For example, the rights of Freedom and Equality apply to
every individual in the body politic. Everyone is included. Hence, when that
issue arises, it should be handled proceedurally by the Court. In other words,
it is a jurisdictional requirement that the Government demonstrate that
the individuals before the Court are not being deprived of their Freedom or
Equality before any other issue can be heard. The Freedom and Equality issue
can only be weighed against the General Welfare clause.
