Concerning intimate relationships whose ends are disfavorable, the emotional temperature of the remembrance of an event will be inversely proportional to the emotional warmth of the actual event, minus the difference between Actual & Memory, plus the latent significance of the actual event (i.e., hindsight appreciation & present significance).
Given1:
D : difference between actual event & memory
a : actual event
m : memory of event
sA : significance at time of event
sP : present significance
sL : latent significance
S : overall significance at time of memory
Ta : temperature of actual event
Tm : temperature of memory
Given2:
Ta = a + sA
D = a - m
S = sP + sL
Result:
Tm = -[ (Ta - D) + S ]
Result (expanded):
Tm = -[ ( (a + sA) - (a - m) ) + (sP + sL) ]
Tm = -[ ( (a + sA) - (a - m) ) + (sP + sL) ]
