 A computer algorithm converts this assigned 'Reputation' into: 
 *Reputation The average rating weighted by each member's influence. 
  
 *Influence How much weight the member's opinion carries. This is calculated from the reputation such that in a community of N members the voting weight is allocated as: 
-**Level 9 voting weight 1   
-**Level 5 voting weight 1/N   
-**Level 1 voting weight 1/N^2  
+**Level 9 voting weight N   
+**Level 5 voting weight 1  
+**Level 1 voting weight 1/N 
  
-*Equity [Virians|Virian] are assigned "equity" in the [Church of Virus|ChurchOfVirus] which is based upon their reputation. The percentage of the total influence wielded by this member, where the 'Influence' is a determination of how much weight a member's opinion carries, calculated from the Reputation such that in a community of N members one level 7 member will have as much influence as N level 4s, and one level 4 will have as much influence as N level 1s . In this way, a member's 'Equity' reflects the percentage of the total influence wielded by a member. 
+The exact formula to calculate an influence from a reputation R is e^(ln(N)*2*(R-5)/(9-1)).
