this is incorrect.  these two values are sufficient to the implementation.

int query_effective_fit(object who) {
	if(who->name() == owner)
	  return fit;
	else
	  return -fit;
}

void update_fit(object who) {
	if(!fit)
	  owner = who->name();
	else if(who->name() == owner)
	  fit++;
	else
	  fit--;
}
