Are there groups of patients who seek detailed risk/benefit information (e.g., "monitors" [ 11]) and benefit from explicit, step-wise deliberative guidance, while other groups favor a gestalt-like overview of the key facts (e.g., "blunters") and benefit more from implicit guidance?
Although explicit VCMs are often effortful, and thereby require deliberative thought, an implicit VCM may also be quite effortful and activate analytical thought processes.
These features are combined with firm grounding in scientific evidence, which includes rigorous synthesis and quality assessment, to make the committee's deliberative process as well-informed, comprehensive and explicit as possible.
Importantly, intuitive and deliberative processes should not be conflated with implicit versus explicit VCMs.
In the deliberative control loop we use an anomaly detection algorithm with an explicit evaluation of the decision before the action is taken.
This paper aims to make those presuppositions explicit and to contrast them with two possible alternative perspectives on VAAs, associated with deliberative and agonistic conceptions of democracy and citizenship.
26 Box 1 Decision aid definition (Reproduced from Stacey et al, p. 8 26 ) "(I nterventions designed to help people make specific and deliberative choices among options (including the status quo), by making the decision explicit and by providing (at the minimum) (a) information on the options and outcomes relevant to a person's health status and (b) implicit methods to clarify values".

In this context we introduce three design principles for complex cooperative behavior minimalism, statelessness and tolerance and present a RoboCup soccer system that matches the sophistication of many deliberative soccer systems while exceeding their robustness, through the use of strict behavior-based techniques with no explicit communication.
This is deliberative democracy".
