Would you mind slapping a name on said field of mathematics, because I dig that stuff but only ever stumble upon smatterings of it here and there. I'd love to get to the core of that field. Its like game theory + lots of other stuff. (Sorry for off topic)

It's not one specific subfield but a combination. A good starting place though is probably social choice theory with a bit of a background on Arrow's impossibility theorem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow%27s_impossibility_theorem.
