Average rule Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Average rule is a democratic political philosophy or agenda which asserts that no segment of the population is entitled to a certain degree of primacy in society, and all decisions should be taken using average. Under this political structure no physical human person can be excluded from participation in the democratic process, and any individual is allowed to change their vote at anytime, reveal their vote on any measure, as well as propose as many measures as they desire. If there is a valid decision on a specific measure that is contrary to another valid decision in the same measure, the votes of those two decisions are merged together in order to extract the new decision. Population thresholds are defined in order for a decision on a specific measure to be valid, but those population thresholds are also decided using an average rule method.Average rule is further defined as the rule that excludes a decision from the best rated poll option to be taken and to be valid all the time, and for each poll option proposed to a referendum it tries to detect the numerical quantity the poll option represents, then calculates and extracts the decision as the average of all poll options. In case a numerical quantity cannot be defined and the average cannot be extracted, average rule quantizes time, and implements each poll option to as much time quanta as its vote percentage has defined.
As maximum time quantum that can be voted by an individual (as long as the time quantum used to implement majority rule is also a subject of vote too), average rule defines the human lifetime, as calculated by statistical measurements. Depending on the maximum time quantum that can be voted by an individual, many variations of the average rule can be defined. The above definition is considered to be the human lifetime average rule.

Example
Suppose a referendum with the question: "Should English become the one and only official language of USA?" is proposed by an individual.
Automatically, a second referendum appears, asking how many votes, as a percentage of the total population, should this referendum take in order to become a valid decision. Possible votes for this second threshold referendum are considered to be the range between 0% and 100%. The result of this threshold referendum is calculated again using the average rule and it is the sum of the all votes divided by the number of people who voted.
Finally we have the third referendum, asking about the time quantum, accepting as a maximum vote the human lifetime (here is where the lifetime average rule principle applies, as long as every person agrees that a lifetime as a maximum vote for the time quantum is a fair one)
So voters are about to cast the following triple vote: (population percentage above it the decision is valid, poll option, time quanta).
People start voting on those three referendums, and after some initial ups and downs, the population threshold stabilizes and is bypassed. Then the decision becomes a valid decision.
Let's take an example having as population five persons, and suppose the human lifetime is 80 years.
The first person votes (0, yes, 80). The second person votes (100, no, 0). The third person votes (0, yes, 80). The forth person votes (0,yes, 80). and the fifth person didn't vote.Note: poll options may not be only a yes or a no, nothing prevents the voter to invent his own poll option (for example a "maybe" poll option is also a valid one) but of course if a unique or strange poll option is used by a voter, this increases the possibility for the voter to become a minority, and as long as his poll option cannot be calculated using an average, this will reduce the time quatum the poll option will be a valid one. This specific "maybe" poll option, as long as it cannot be represented by any numerical value in order to take place in the calculation of an average, when the time arrives and it has to be implemented in its own time quantum, obviously it cancels any decision that is about to be made for the subject. When this "maybe" poll option time arrives, nobody knows what the official language is, so nobody can accuse governement if they choose to talk and write to whatever language they wish.
By using the average rule, 75% of the official government documents should be written in English, and 25% in other languages.
Let's suppose also that for practical reasons we cannot define an average for every single live official government talk on TV, radio, e.t.c. In that case we have to use the decided time quatum. So, by implementing the average rule political philosophy we decide that for now on and for 60 years only English should be used in every live official government talk, then for the next 20 years only other languages (and not english of course).
This result is valid and time starts counting, until the fifth person arrives, or until some of the four persons changes his or her mind or reveals his or her vote. In case the result changes it is calculated how much time has been used for the English only advocates, in order to extract the correct remaining time for the non english to start hearing the government talking in other languages only.
For example if the above result stays valid for one hour (60 minutes), then some people decide to change their vote or reveal it , or even if a new voter arrived and decided to vote and change the result, the result of the new decision (on what it concerns the live official government talk on TV or radio) is not valid immediatly but after 20 minutes, in order for the non english advocates to get the time quanta they deserve.

The threshold result is (0 + 0 + 0 + 100)/4 = 25% and as long as 80% (4/5) of the population voted, the referendum decision is a valid one and should be implemented. The result of the referendum is 75% yes and 25% no. The time quantum is calculated as (80 + 0 + 80 + 80)/4 = 60.History and legacy
Average rule has never been tried as a political regime in human history, but also not even a single community has ever tried to implement it, as long as its implementation is complicated and requires a high level of mathematics.
Some "examples" of average rule can be found in physics, although we are arguing now about physical phenomena and not human votes as the average rule defines . For example in particles movement when there is force that wants for an object to move north, and another to move west, the movement is decided to be norhtwest using the average rule. Also the change of seasons (winter, spring, summer, automn) could be considered as an implementation of the average rule. In that case we have a proposed referendum asking "what season do you prefer?", as poll options we have the four seasons each one geting the 25% of the voters and as maximum time quanta we have the one year.See also
