  "body": "\n## Summary\n\nA near-unanimity term is a term of arity at least $3$ that returns $x$ whenever all arguments but at most one equal $x$.\nHaving such a term is a [[Mal'cev condition|6R0CA4JWWY]] on a [[variety|AJNZJD8442]].\nA variety with a near-unanimity term is congruence-distributive.\nFor a finite algebra, such a term makes the clone of term operations determined by a finite set of relations, as in the [[Baker–Pixley theorem|97SRYBF41G]].\n\n## Explanations\n\n### L1 human\n\nThink of a vote among $n$ voters where at most one voter disagrees with the rest.\nA near-unanimity term is an operation that always follows the large group in this situation.\nIn a lattice, the term $(x \\wedge y) \\vee (y \\wedge z) \\vee (x \\wedge z)$ is such a term with three arguments.\nFor example, with $x = z$ it gives $(x \\wedge y) \\vee (y \\wedge x) \\vee x = x$.\nWhen many voters disagree, the term may return anything; only the nearly unanimous inputs are fixed.\n",
