The top level of the
functional model
is considered to be significant, that is to say, the actor is said to be 'happy' or whatever
the emotional dimension is being measured.

A Commented Run of the Model
Figure

is the top level of the model in the Clarity schema. The sequence of
the program events goes clockwise from the output
<
list bool
>
of function 'progN'
shown in the schema. So first a new line with function 'nar_line', then the text “Intital
State” followed by a new line is printed. Next the function 'show_views' is called
with a parameter marked as 'scale'. The value of 'scale' is the last parameter of the
main function 'actor_lives' and so on (see Addis and Addis
2010
).
Our initial trial of the model was run so that every actor was initialised as to be
indifferent to objects 1 and 2, where I
=
0.143, about all values as follows:
Initial State
Actor 1
1[ 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 ] I
=
0.143
2[ 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 ] I
=
0.143
Actor 2
1[ 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 ] I
=
0.143
2[ 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 ] I
=
0.143
Actor 2
1[ 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 ] I
=
0.143
0.143
Each actor then has a single experience of two objects 1 and 2 (e.g. all attend a
concert with two pieces of music) and this modifies their neutral view with this
certain experience thus:
2[ 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 0.143 ] I
