An algorithm for Catalonia

Abstract

It is still true that defining problems is half the way to finding a solution. In this article I aim to explain how I see the Catalan conflict and, in so doing, do my best not to turn my preferences into prejudices and try to strike a balance between the descriptions of reality that seem to ignore the tensions and the descriptions that excessively dramatize the differences. In a context where political agents are more interested in proving the strength of their character and their convictions than in getting results and signing agreements, I defend that there is a procedure for reaching a solution that should respect three principles: representation, revisability and indeterminacy.
