Proportionate by whatever groups the voters self-select. If there are 13 seats then any group of 1/13th of the voters that votes for the same candidate should get that cantitate election.

That's not a district plan, it's a different way of apportioning representation. Hence my confusion.
Voter parties?
The interest voters express preferences for by voting?
The interests voters idealize (they may vote pragmatically within existing rules)?
Etc., etc.
A purely algorithmic solution needs to encode preferences and how to balance them, so they need to be defined quite precisely.
