Operant keypress tasks, where each action has a consequence, have been analogized to the construct of "wanting" and produce lawful relationships in humans that quantify preferences for approach and avoidance behavior. It is unknown if…

This paper enriches preexisting satisfiability tests for unquantified languages, which in turn augment a fragment of Tarski's elementary algebra with unary real functions possessing a continuous first derivative. Two sorts of individual…
