What Is the Mathematical Term for the Rate of Change of the Marginal Cost in This System?

The marginal cost of casting an additional vote V in a quadratic system is 2V. The rate of change of the marginal cost is the derivative of the marginal cost function with respect to V. Since the marginal cost is MC = 2V, the rate of change of the marginal cost is simply 2.

This constant value of 2 signifies that the marginal cost increases linearly with the number of votes, which is the core mathematical principle behind the anti-whale mechanism.
