The legend for a source case listing of variables/influences is as follows:
*xx* Number of Other Variables Directly Influenced By That Variable
{xx} Type of Relationship (e.g., {+ } is Monotonically Increasing; {-} is Monotonically decreasing)
[xx] Time Relationship (e.g., [t-2] is a Delay of 2 Time Periods)
Where the "time period" (e.g., in months) is specified as a variable in the case.
(xx) Number of Cause-Effect Quesions Answered Possitively (Out of 6)
1. There is an identifiable agent in X that influences Y?
2. There is a close spatial proximity between X and Y?
3. There is a close time proximity between X and Y?
4. X (or its anticipation) occurs before Y?
5. When X is manipulated, all else constant, Y changes?
6. Some kind of "energy" is transfered from X to Y?
<C> Catalyst (Affects the Reaction Time of the Relationship)
