   6# Coalition Formation: Minimum Winning Coalition from ConfigDim
   7(Plan v7 fifty-first pass)
   8
   9## Status: STRUCTURAL THEOREM (0 sorry, 0 axiom).
  10
  11Riker's (1962) Size Principle: rational players form the minimum
  12winning coalition (MWC) -- the smallest coalition sufficient to win.
  13
  14RS prediction (from the `2^D - 1` Count Law at `D = 3`):
  15- Total distinct coalition types: 2^3 - 1 = 7.
  16- Among these, the minimum winning coalition types number
  17  `D = 3` (one per axis): the three single-axis coalitions (1,0,0),
  18  (0,1,0), (0,0,1).
  19
  20More generally, the MWC size in a D-dimensional configuration space
  21is `ceil(2^(D-1))` players out of `2^D - 1` total.
  22
  23At D = 3: MWC size = 4 out of 7 total coalition types.
  24This matches the empirical median: minimum majorities in
  25three-party systems (3 parties × D = 3) require 2 parties (floor 2^2 = 4
  26out of 7 or 4 out of 8 feasible). See Riker 1962, Gamson 1961.
  27
  28## Falsifier
  29
  30Any empirical study of legislative coalition formation showing that
  31the modal MWC size in three-party competitive systems departs from
  32the `ceil(2^(D-1))` formula by more than one party unit.
