The Happiness Hypothesis

Let D(x) represent enjoyment as a function of x, where D(x) is a continuous function mapping R to R. The following properties are satisfied:

  1. Limit of enjoyment as activity increases indefinitely:
    Enjoyment decreases and tends to vanish as the activity increases without bounds:
    lim(x → infinity) D(x) = 0
  2. Bounded enjoyment:
    There exists a positive constant C, such that for any x, enjoyment cannot exceed this value:
    |D(x)| ≤ C, for all x in R.
  3. Dependence on a personal values matrix:
    Let M represent the matrix of personal values, then:
    C = k * determinant(M),
    where k is a positive proportionality constant.
  4. Matrix M as a function of time and information:
    The matrix M is defined as:
    M = f(time, information),
    where f maps the variables time and information to personal values.
