The Complexity Class Analog of Debate
There are some diagrams here showing branching trees, one for the game of go and one for the tree of possible debates. Long arguments are usually long only because they cover many different arguments and subarguments. The length is due to branching down many paths. Arguments which seem irreducibly long can be arranged into a shallow tree by stating the conclusion of the first half of the argument then choosing which half to discuss in detail. As we increase the number of steps, the complexity class analog of debate moves up the polynomial hierarchy.
