Recently I had some time alone and i spent it thinking about this aspect of life (at least my life). I hereby propound the Laws of Friends & Friendship. While the grammar is important the mathematical representations are WIP. So here goes...
Sudham's 1st Law: Law of Proximity & Convenience
Proximity to a set of people (same apartment building/same office cubicle/adjacent hostel rooms) nurtures formation of groups.
Strength of Friendship (Ф) = {Duration of proximity (t) x Convenience of Acess (c)}/{Mean Distance between friends x Time to traverse distance}
Sudham's 2nd Law: Law of Tastes& Purpose
Commanality of tastes (interest in sport/movies/books/music/quizzing) and the strength of purpose.
Strength of Friendship (Ф) = n x (strength of purpose)2
Commanality of tastes (interest in sport/movies/books/music/quizzing) and the strength of purpose.
Strength of Friendship (Ф) = n x (strength of purpose)2
[where n is the number of common tastes and strength of purpose is a number between 1-3]
Sudham's 3rd Law: Law of Common Misery
Common misery (my job sucks/i am underpaid/my boss is an a$#$hole) breeds friendship and formation of groups
Strength of Friendship (Ф) = n x (Extent of misery)1/2
[where n is the number of such individuals and extent of misery is a number between 1-3]
Note: All the laws are open to comment NOT to question.
