The Fifth Interconnected Question of Consciousness:
Why does a writer’s fun fluctuate in the presence of others?
The reasoning for this question follows the same ideas as the fluctuations within motivation. Furthermore, it appears that the main factor of influence (that acts as a contagious factor) may be a person’s willpower. Meaning that, a person’s willpower may be the driving force that can cause fluctuations in another person’s total fun or total motivation. In addition, it appears that these fluctuations may also be the result of evolutionary bonding developments, such that a contagious ability exists within every human being, within their individual fun and motivation.
At any rate, using symbols to model total fun, then: let FT = to the total amount of fun in a given person; let F0 = the initial or prime term of fun for a given person; and let CdFd = the additional terms of fun provided by other willing individuals, then an approximation of fun in a given person is:
FT = . . . + C-3F-3 + C-2F-2 + C-1F-1 + F0 + C1F1 + C2F2 + C3F3 + . . .
Equation- 2.2
In a similar manner with motivation, there are four comments that need to be clarified with respect to Equation-2.2. First, there will always be at least two sources of infinite sum-directions of fun for any given person. These two sources will automatically be drawn from the biological father and biological mother of a given person. And, from an evolutionary perspective, this influential property of fun—of giving and of receiving additional fun terms—serves as a vital source of supplemental fun for early life span development.
There is one warning here also. Equation-2.2 suggests that for maximal life span development, both biological parents are needed within close proximity, especially during early life span development. However, later in life, it may be possible that additional branch summation directions may appear, in addition to the original two branch paths of sums. Furthermore, a reordering of sums from both directions may develop throughout a person’s life span development.
The second comment is with the additional terms to the left and to the right of the initial main source of fun, F0 . From the perspective of evolution, it stands to reason that any additional terms will first try to come from immediate family members of biological mother and biological father. Afterwards, additional fun terms will come from friends, associates and then from all else that is alive or within the reality of a given person.
The third comment deals with the “C” values in front of the additional fun terms, “F”. These “C” values indicate percentage of influence (magnitude) and quality of influence (ether positive or negative). However, these “C” values are not forced upon any person. There is still a dependence on a person’s free-will to accept any quantity or quality of fun.
The fourth comment that needs to be made is with the “ . . . ” on both ends of the right-hand side of Equation-2.2. These symbols indicate that all human beings will be able to contribute to any person’s total fun. Further still, it is possible that after all human beings have been accounted for, then all other living beings may contribute, to a certain extent, to the total fun of any given person.
5. Why does a writer’s fun fluctuate in the presence of others?
A writer’s fun fluctuates in the presence, or awareness, of others because of an influential property of fun that has developed through evolutionary needs. In symbolic form, letting FT = total fun for a given person, F0 = the initial or prime term of fun from a given person and CdFd = to any additional terms of fun from willing participants, where d is an integer, then the total fun for a given person is approximately:
FT = . . . + C-3F-3 + C-2F-2 + C-1F-1 + F0 + C1F1 + C2F2 + C3F3 + . . .
Equation- 2.2
