Summarized Definition
Upon engaging in a Process or observing someone else’s Process with our physical senses* (independent variable), we experience an involuntary desirable or undesirable emotional response (dependent variable) which we interpret to mean the Process we’re engaged in or that we’re observing is true or false without the need for extensive explanation or additional evidence for proof.
*Observations made by our physical senses can mean seeing, hearing, or touching someone or something. It can also mean smelling or tasting something. Further more it can mean reading about or hearing about someone or something that is testified of by another person.
Diagram
In the diagram, the blue line is our Process or the pathway we’re following to obtain our Desire at Point B. The Effects we experience upon engaging in a given Process are represented by the yellow and gray lines. When we are on the pathway our Cause has prescribed and that pathway indeed leads to the obtainment of our chosen Desire, we experience Desirable Effects symbolized by the yellow line beneath the blue. When we deviate from that pathway to the right or left (red lines), there is an absence of those Desirable Effects (gray lines beneath the red). The absence of Desirable Effects is an Undesirable Effect in itself but this emptiness is usually filled pretty quickly by other Undesirable Effects.
