Satisfaction Formulas

After posting my review of the science book Satisfaction, I noticed that I could have written it in pseudocode or C#.

switch (novelty)
{
    too-little:
        condition = boredom;
    too-much:
        condition = overwhelmed;
    just-enough:
        condition = engaged;
}

if (condition == engaged && action == true)
    satisfaction = true;
else
    satisfaction = false;

This post had just enough novelty and required an action on my part.  I’m satisfied.
