- Friendship-animosity. The degree to which an agent is
in a unidirectional friendship or animosity relationship
with an agent (including itself). Represented as a bias, either toward
friendship or animosity, and a strength, zero to 3. Default strength is 1.
There is no default bias, but it must be specified for fortunes-of-others
emotions.
- Emotional interrelatedness of agents. This is unidirectional.
It is akin to intimacy, but only in the sense that an agent can perceive
this intimacy in relationship to an enemy as well as to a friend. This
variable attempts to capture the concept that events which affect, and
actions which are performed by, agents who are perceived as being more
emotionally intertwined with the experiencing agent, are likely to generate
stronger emotional responses in that agent. Range: zero to 3, where 3
represents a high degree of perceived emotional interrelatedness. Default
1.
