The choice between unipolar and bipolar variables brings up a variety of tricky considerations. In some cases, a variable that makes perfect sense as a unipolar variable is nonsensical when treated as a bipolar variable. For example, it’s easy to understand a high value of greed, but what would a negative value of greed imply: charity or generosity? If you wanted to build an inclination formula representing the intensity of an Actor’s desire to obtain some trinket, you would naturally multiply the value of the trinket by the Actor’s greed. In this case, you would expect that a saint would simply have zero desire for the trinket. But using a bipolar value for the greed variable would make the saint’s desire for the trinket negative—is that reasonable?
