236    We would like some way to evoke a repeatable sequence of atomic
237    emotions.  In general, film contains too much detail and complexity for
238    this purpose.  There are many problems:
239    
240    @itemize @bullet
241    @item A given personality in a given film clip may be depicting
242    several different emotions at once.
243    
244    @item The set of personalities who are simultaneously present in a film clip
245    need not be depicting similar emotions.
246    
247    @item The overall emotional tone depicted by a film clip can
248    be distinct from what each of the individual personality in
249    a film is depicting.
250    @end itemize
251    
252    Without addressing these problems, an unambiguous analysis of film is
253    impossible.  The solution employed in Aleader is to prescribe rules
254    which skillfully narrow down on specific component of a scene.  We are
255    not interested in the whole complex mixture of emotions.  Rather, we are
256    trying to pick out one or two emotions as guided by carefully crafted
257    appraisal instructions.
258    
259  We use two different tools to analyze a film:  We use two different tools to analyze a film:

393  Both participants should have the same basic attitude.  If the attitudes  
394  are asymmetric then one of the intentions is wrong.  Typically the situation should not involve physical contact.  If there
395    is a physical exchange then consider a different intention
