Looking at the following table, we could create a system where each
reason posted to (b), and (g) would give more points to idea (a). And
each idea posted in position (c) and (e). Would take away points from
idea (a).

Idea (a)
Reason to agree(b) Reason to disagree(c)
1.
Reasons to Agree(d) Reasons to disagree(e) Reasons to agree(f)
Reasons to disagree (g).

It could branch off even more, where each reason to agree could have
reasons to agree or disagree with it. And each idea would give or take
points away from the main idea.

PS Because the pages are so narrow, the formating is messed up.

Thinking of how it would work.

Each idea would have its own ID. I would use as a base numbering system
the 26 letters, 10 numbers, & 33 special characters. Or capital letters
were additional separate characters, only one digit would represent 95
possible ideas, and two characters would represent 9,025.

So each idea would get it's own identity. So lets say that an idea's
identification number is u7^+.

Reasons to agree with this idea would be assigned the following ID#'s;
u7^+A1, u7^+A2, u7^+A3, ... where A1 represents reason to agree #1, #2,
& #3.

Reasons to disagree with this idea would be assigned the following
ID#'s; u7^+D1, u7^+D2, u7^+D3, ... where D1 represents reason to
disagree #1, #2, & #3.

So on the first level; if there were 5 reasons to agree and 3 reasons
to disagree, the idea would get 2 points. Or if there were 5 reasons to
disagree and 3 reasons to agree then the idea would get -2 points.

But it would get much better than that. Each of the reasons to agree or
disagree would have reasons to agree or disagree with them. They would
get points from the reasons to agree or disagree with them.
