relationship.

relationship is the sum total of meaning one derives from it – past, present and future. It is the total of the needs that are expected to be fulfilled by that contract with that person or persons. Here the denominations of the transactions in the contract are maslovian.

So, mathematically, it is R = PV*+NPV* SFTx, where V* = Value stated in Maslovian denominations.

This gives us a way to put our arms around this verity that otherwise could be seen to be complex and multi-dimensional.

This also helps to take the individual Transactions in a Relationship, lets call them Tx and R respectively for ease, to be inter-relatable, and accountable over the time function T of the Life-time of that R between the entities.

This allows Perspectives P to come into play on the T scale.

Before you start thinking that this is heading to and getting heavy with math, let me quickly disavow and assure you. This is not going in that direction. It is simply Math can express thoughts with more precision than words can, or even pictures can.

Equipped thus, we can give a double-entry book keeping treatment to the transactions in the R, that can give more tolerance and resilience to the R and give it a better chance to survive and grow and endure, while giving precision to judgment.
