HI Stuart,

You can't assign actual values to the amounts, instead it represents the proportions or relationships of the variables.

Particularly how a lack of Quality Expectation (such as if someone is humble), a lack of low opinion of the Quality Displayed (in paper 1 we use the example of how many people don't laugh at homophobic jokes or teasing because they don't feel that a man being gay is a sign of a low quality), a lack of noticeability (not seeing what happened or not knowing physics for an inside physics joke) or a lack of validity (if the joke is very cheesy or corny) can all single-handedly ruin a humorous moment, particularly if one of the multipliers is 0. Just as how feeling too much anxiety (such as if your mother just died) will kill your sense of humor as well.

I don't see any other method to represent these relationships as accurately in as small an amount of space. So I went with an equation.
