According to the special theory of relativity: The combined speed of any object’s motion through space and its motion through time is always precisely equal to the speed of light. But light travels through space precisely at the speed of light. Doesn't that imply that light doesn't travel...

Thank you, appreciate your help.

There's two aspects to this theory, the desire value of the single option, and the desire values of many options and the maximum value gets selected. I think your first equation works for the desire value for one option. And the second equation works for many options when compared.

I'll give you an example: a person faced with two options, kill himself [-40], and live a miserable life [-36] the person will choose to live a miserable life. A person will always choose the option that has th highest desire value, even if it's all negative. See what I mean?

Thanks, just one more point. Even if all desires are less than 0, a person will choose the one closest to 0.

First of all I'm new to this forum so I apologize for putting it in the wrong section. I'm not looking for a precise mathematical model for our decisions, however I'm asking for, given that we know the persons desires, and given this premise that; of all perceived options of actions a person...

This is not really homework it's just an idea of mine (it's still important for my math skills), but I'll explain anyways. Here's my premises: given all perceived option of choices a person will always choose the most desirable at that time. there are units of desires at given moments of time...

X +y = k, * D + -D = action D =Units of desire* Faced with two options of actions, if the desires adds up a (-) then no action, if the desires add up to a (+), then action. Is the math right?

I shouldn't have used the inverse relation. What I really meant was this: x = -y, 40x = -40y, how can I change this equation to make one go up in value while the other goes down? It's like when i spend more money I have less. Do you see what I mean? Is there an equation for that?

Does it make sense? Desire to eat [40], desire to not eat [1/40]? It doesn't make sense.

Homework Statement A persons desire to eat is inversely porportional to a persons desire to not eat. The problem is I don't know how to write this down mathematically. Let's give a value to someone's desire to not eat after 3 days [40], that persons desire to not eat is going to be [-40]...
