The function is designed for real-time computation and can be integrated into multi-agent simulations, social network analyses, or behavioral monitoring tools.
Temporal smoothing or decay factors may be introduced to prevent short-term volatility from dominating long-term relational patterns.
Incorporation of machine learning estimators for dynamic wkw_k and context-dependent recalibration of CC may further increase the model's responsiveness and robustness.
B. Variable Definitions, Weights, and Justifications
The relational scoring function introduced in Section 4.A,
Rij(t)=k=1nwkVk,ij(t)+CR_{ij}(t) = \sum_{k=1}^n w_k \cdot V_{k,ij}(t) + C
provides a time-sensitive, additive aggregation of multiple interactional variables, each representing a critical dimension of the relational ecosystem. Below we define the core variables Vk,ij(t)V_{k,ij}(t), assign weights wkw_k based on theoretical significance and empirical sensitivity, and justify their inclusion within the model. Each variable captures a distinct aspect of social cognition, emotion, behavior, or perception relevant to the dynamics of relational trust and strategy.
