Re: Difference btw Love & Affection
That is true, the equation needs boundary condition. However, I do not think x can be constant and still L > x. x needs to be a variable < L.
But then another paradox arises (last one :p):
if L=xA and L>x, then we have to assume that A is a stronger feeling than L.
Re: Difference btw Love & Affection
You know, I did come to see as well that my formula would lead to the idea that A is stronger than L.
Therefore, it is necessary to revise the formula to include, in addition to the contraint, the fudge factor f.
The fudge factor represents that unquantifiable character of Love which makes it more than just the sum of 2 affections.
So I believe that we can all come to agree that:
L=xfA **, where **L = xA, where x = intensity, L = Love, and A = mutual Affection, f=Fudge factor, L > x, **and **f > 1
