What if everybody in the world could vote in any country's elections, with an exponentially decaying weight set by shortest distance from boundary?
So Chinese people would have say a 1/32 vote in American elections?
Fourier transform global politics.

Brian, that's called "Mathsplaining" !

At the risk of looking stupid, I'm going to argue. Unclear to me how to model this. Why Laplace instead of Fourier? Isn't this a function over R^2 rather than C?

If you use only real variables, then a Fourier transform converts any function into a sum of sines and cosines. A Laplace transform converts it to a sum of exponentials.

There was a time 15y ago I’d have seen this myself at a muscle memory level. My math has decayed to almost pre-calculus levels 😔
Not that I’m any great loss to research world, but still, regrets... I coulda been a mediocre contender on some crappy topic
Being a mediocre contender on some crappy topic is what we in the business call "living the dream"
