[mistake] How about RatRespect1 = min(RatRespect0, sqrt(RatRespect0)^2 + (NonRatRespect0)^2))?

[edit] Confound you, Pythagoras! What I meant to say was...

RatRespect1 = min(RatRespect0, sqrt(RatRespect0 x NonRatRespect0)

There's no sudden ceiling, but you still get wiped for neglecting the real world.

hmmm...it's a little awkward reading the math without TeX, but I think assuming all variables real, that simplifies to RatRespect1=RatRespect0
