Delegation cycles are seen by some as an issue for proxy voting systems: if $a$ delegates to $b$, $b$ to $c$ and $c$ to $b$, what is the weight that a vote by any of the three agents will carry, and in general how will the opinions of these agents be counted?
Proponent of liquid democracy tend to dismiss
this problem delegation cycles as a non-issue: since the three agents delegate their votes, none of them is casting a ballot and the cycles gets
reso resolved essentially by not counting the opinions of the agents involved in a cycle \cite{liquid_feedback}. In a BDP perspective, this appears as a drastic solution as it not only hides to aggregation the opinions of the agents involved in cycles, but also the opinions of agents that may be linked to any of those agents by a delegation path. In other words information about entire connected components in the delegation graph would be lost.
