DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/Metagov/172/
 ">Probabilistic Foundations of Partisan (Un)Sorting</a>\nby Luke Thorburn 
 as part of Metagovernance Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nAlgorithms and governance
  systems designed to positively impact human conflict should be grounded i
 n a valid model of what makes conflict better or worse. This talk presents
  a work-in-progress attempt to ground the most common technical operationa
 lization of bridging (the idea of “commonality despite difference”\, w
 hich Polis and X/Twitter Community Notes both use) in political / democrat
 ic / peacebuilding theory\, and tie that really closely to a basic technic
 al model of what I think this operationalization is likely doing at a popu
 lation level — partisan unsorting. Throughout\, I'll draw connections to
  existing concepts including perception gaps and surprising validation.\n
