……投票系统（相比当今普遍使用的更简单的系统）：在那里你能找到很大一部分理论背景。（我这里关注的是作为目标根本的反馈机制。）举个例子：George Szpiro 的《Numbers Rule: The Vexing Mathematics of Democracy, from Plato to the Present》就是一本入门读物。当然，这取决于你把“改进”定义为什么目标——是启发式规则（heuristics）、提供信息/洞见/风趣，还是具有教育意义……
…voting systems (vs the simpler systems in general use today): there one can find a good part of the theoretical background. (I am focusing here on the feedback as fundamental to the goal.) An example: Numbers Rule: The Vexing Mathematics of Democracy, from Plato to the Present by George Szpiro is a primer. Of course it depends on the goal defining "improvement" - heuristics, informative/insightful/funny, educational,…
……思想钥匙。而且似乎有些人觉得挑衅引战比认真提议更能好好利用时间。要是想找一本介绍哪怕稍显复杂一点的投票系统的入门读物，可以参考这本书：George G. Szpiro，《Numbers Rule: The Vexing Mathematics of Democracy, from Plato to the Present》，普林斯顿大学出版社（2010）
…intellectual keys. And it seems that some think it a good use of time to provoke instead of seriously propose. For a primer about at-least-slightly sophisticated voting systems, one text is: George G.

如果你想深入了解双子城（twin cities）匝道控制（traffic metering）项目，可以看看《Numbers Rule Your World》里非常风趣的一章，梳理了其历史背景并（非常浅显地）介绍了背后的统计学原理。http://junkcharts.typepad.com/numbersruleyourworld/
For those of you who want to read a bit more about the twin cities traffic metering program there's an entertaining chapter in Numbers Rule Your World that goes through the history and (very lightly) the stats behind it. http://junkcharts.typepad.com/numbersruleyourworld/
