The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Semiorders were introduced and applied in mathematical psychology by Duncan Luce as a model of human preference.
- They generalize strict weak orderings, in which items with equal scores may be tied but there is no margin of error.
- They are a special case of partial orders and of interval orders, and can be characterized among the partial orders by additional axioms, or by two forbidden four-item suborders.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Semiorder article was read about 1,900 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 47: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
How to get Semiorder
