Section 42 Contour

Influences don’t have to be straight. It is possible to select different contours.

• quick-start: (contour=quick-start)
• slow-start: (contour=slow-start)
• S-shaped: (contour=S-shaped)
• U-shaped: (contour=U-shaped)
• threshold: (contour=threshold)
• straight: (contour=straight) (the default. I don’t say “linear” as that can mean other things too)

42.1 Flipping

Also, each consequence variable can be “flipped” in relation to the combination of its incoming variables. All of these combinations work with any number of incoming variables greater than 1. Flipping is the same as adding a “MINUS” variable in between.
