Precaution: You may find the article interesting or gross, the probability of later option being lot more, but I have tried to be rational and interesting. Importantly, you will need some elementary knowledge of mathematical functions like sin(x), average(function), absolute(function) , pulse etc and of plotting the functions.
I have been in and out of love, once. Sometimes afterwards, I tried to figure out what exactly love is , I was never able to do that. But, I have come up with a model for it, and since I am of an engineering background (or you may say scientific background), I could not help but to use Mathematical functions to my aid. This model is not exactly about love, but more about being in a relation.
Since I have modulated my initial model I have changed it a lot of times to include the limitations of the previous model. I will start with my first and very basic model, even though it is filled with limitations to explain all the aspects but I assure you that once we get into more complex models more limitation will be covered.
First Model : AC Model
To start with we’ll define some of the parameters of our life in terms of mathematical variables and then we’ll plot these mathematical variables to understand the concept.
On x axis would be the time line or the variable‘t’, denoting time.
On the y axis we’ll have our different parameters. Firstly, let us try to understand the parameters.
Emotional Status : Sin(t) – I have used a very basic function, sine function, to represent your emotional status, i.e. either happiness or sadness, on any given particular time, ‘t’ of your relation. The logic being that when you are in a relation you are sometimes happy and sometimes sad. This happens more or less periodically and in equal magnitudes and hence, can be represented by sine function. Negative value will imply sadness.
Level of activity: absolute (Sin(t)) – This represents how much activity is going on your life at any time ‘t’ or in other words, is your life happening or quite. The rationality behind the function being that, firstly, you level of activeness will obviously depend on your emotional status (Sin(t) ) .Secondly, the absolute function is there to take into account that if you are very happy or very sad, in both case your life is happening ,in the sense that either you are going places or having a quarrel.
For the initial model these 2 parameters would suffice, as we move to next model we’ll introduce more parameters or change the mathematical function of these parameters.
Now let us try to plot the situation of going into a relation. Here we assume that at t=’0’ the person goes into a relation.
2 things are to be notice over here. First, the person is sad just before going into the relation, and this can be accredited to the fact that most of us are confused and worried regarding the onset of the relation. Second important change to be noticed is that there is a sudden jump in emotional status (as shown in picture) in a very short period of time. This is the reason why most of the people feel so happy, going into a new relation.
Coming to the next graph, even though looking at the graph it seems that lot of happiness has been added to the life, but if you observe more carefully the average of your emotional status(= average (sin(t)) , represented by red=green Color line ), is still zero. Hence there has been no net change in your level of happiness or sadness, before and after the onset of a relation.
But it’ll be obviously wrong to say nothing changes while going into a relation. To encompass the change we bring in our second parameter. Lets plot the graph of our second parameter : level of activity. Now if we average out this parameter ( = average (absolute (Sin (t)))) ,represented by blue color line ) we observe that there has been a substantial change. The overall activity has increased, which is obviously the case once you are in a relation.
So we may conclude that going in a relation does makes your life a roller coaster, sometime you feel very high, sometime you feel very low but, rationally the net change is zero. Your net happiness or sadness remains the same. But yes, it does make your life more happening and helps you feel the kind of happiness you have never felt before and you may never feel in any other activity.
This brings us to the end of the first model. In this we haven’t taken the people in relation and there correlation in consideration, which I plan to do in my next post/ model – AC-DC Model.
