Voting Paradox

A situation in social choice theory where collective preferences can be cyclic (i.e., not transitive), even if the preferences of individual voters are not, leading to a lack of consistent aggregation of individual preferences into a coherent group order.

Impossibility Theorem

A principle, also known as Arrow's impossibility theorem, stating that it is impossible to devise a social welfare function that fairly ranks societal preferences in the presence of three or more options.
