Ought Implies Polynomial Time

Reasonable Endeavours as an Approximation Ratio in Owners-Corporation Allocation By-Laws

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities reads 148 challenged allocations from the minute books of 61 owners corporations as a question in the jurisprudence of duty. Where the allocation reduced to a problem with a findable optimum, committees were held to that optimum exactly; where it was NP-hard, their work was upheld up to roughly one and a half times the optimum, a tolerance no by-law in the corpus states.
