1. The number of dimensions of the Basic Space -- X -- will be small (probably two or one).
   
   
2. Issue Dimensions -- Y -- are generated through simple linear maps -- W -- from the basic space; that is: XW = Y.
   
   
3. The politician's ideal points in the basic space will be stable.
   
   
4. The further a legislator is from the center of the basic space the more intense the belief and the greater the stability.
