Fuzzy preferences lead to societal division: Arrow's Impossibility Theorem implications
Fuzzy preferences can lead to a version of Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, even with weak transitivity rules. Different ways of breaking down fuzzy preferences can affect the outcome, with some methods leading to dictatorship results. Strong connectedness of preferences can also impact the findings. Researchers have been exploring ways to avoid these negative results by relaxing assumptions and using fuzzy preferences.
