h(t)

let h(t) be happiness as a function of time for a given relationship.

i like this formalism.

h(t) = 0 would be pretty boring

positive spikes would be... pretty obvious

negative spikes would be arguments

there would probably be negative and positive spike correlations

the RMS of h would be like a measure of how much of a rollercoaster the relationship is.

DC bias would be just how generally "constantly" happy it makes you - like are you in a lower or higher mood throughout the whole relationship.

healthy relationships probably have significant RMS. it's a sign that communication is happening, but not so much RMS that they blow a fuse.
