Individuals may make choices in a way that is analogous to majority rule processes in a group, i.e. individuals may act as if they had several different perspectives, each represented by a particular ideal point. Individuals then may express preferences that are derived from an "internal” majority rule process among individual's ideal points. This process of "internal” majority voting can give rise to intransitivities in much the same way as for majority rule in group decision making. However, the nature of these alternatives is constrained because of the geometry of the multidimensional issue space, so as to give rise to what we may characterize as a "fuzzily” transitive ordering. In that ordering, one alternative may be preferred by the individual to another if the former is closer to a point in the space that we call the center of the voter shell than is the other alternative.
