Optimum is status quo wherein activity and behavior is to maintain optimum conditions. Natural Affection is sensual stimulation, where one can be enthralled by calamity, such as the beauty of a disastrous fire, or the power of an earthquake, if there is no direct consequence to the individual, and where the consequence to
others, is not of a personal concern. The individual can find the wind or the thunder and lightening storm to be sensational and exhilarating to the senses. And these are natural to nature and thus
can be called more or less than optimum, as the average weather being pretty fair most of the time.
The true Consequence of any given entity would be its optimum condition. Natural Affection is distinguished from Emotion, as sensory response, which is unaffected by Consequential Value. For instance if a person's own car is stolen, which is of Consequence to the individual, the emotional response will probably be highly agitated. However if the stolen car belongs to another such as a stranger, there will probably be little or no response. The greater the Consequence to the individual, the greater the emotional response, like the difference between losing a five hundred dollar, and a fifty thousand dollar car, neither of which are insured. Or it is like the difference between the sensory reaction to losing two fairly similar pieces of paper, which is a 'one' or 'one hundred' dollar bill, or the difference between the responses to finding an ordinary rock and one containing gold.
The Dyadic Authoritative Comparative is a bipolar scale of evaluation
between little or no Consequence called the
Antithetical Matrix, and the greatest Consequence called either the
Extra Mundane Authority as religious, or
Metaphysical Ideal as secular.
