The concept of strict proportional power is introduced, as a means of formalizing a desire to avoid discrepancy between the seat distribution in a voting body and the actual voting power in that body, as measured by power indices in common use. Proportionality is obtained through use of a randomized

Quantum interference of particle systems results from the wave properties of the particles and are predicted theoretically from the superposition of the wave functions. In place of wave functions we use deterministic chaotic maps as the underlying mechanism that produces the observed probability den
