Synopsis

Iterations of the sequence: Relaxation → Anticipation → Engagement → Decay.

Relationships

Context:
 Emotional Script .
Parts:
 Relaxation , Anticipation , Engagement , Decay .
Makes use of:
 Entrainment .

Description

Relaxation, Anticipation, Engagement, and Decay can be used in an iterated sequence, such as: ...→Relaxation→Anticipation→Engagement→Decay→Relaxation→Anticipation→Engagement→Decay→Relaxation→...
Due to the difficulties in designing and coding the intelligence for the phase of Anticipation, the following simpler version is more common: ...→Relaxation→Engagement→Decay→Relaxation→Engagement→Decay→Relaxation→...

Techniques involving Entrainment play an important role in the design of these phases and in the transitions between them.

Examples

Need for Speed: Undercover:In these example the sequence "Relaxation → Engagement → Decay" is perceptible.
Far Cry 2: In this game it is notorious the use of the complete sequence with the four phases. Naturally, from the phase of Anticipation it is possible to get back to Relaxation, if Engagement is avoided.
Papa Sangre: A three-phase sequence is perceptible. What is more, if we opt to interpret that there is never exactly an Engagement – in this game the actual Engagement is equal to Death – but instead a possible second degree of Anticipation (of getting caught, once spotted and if not able to outrun the pursuer), then the sequence is more like: "... → Relaxation → Anticipation → Decay → Relaxation → Anticipation → Decay → Relaxation → ...".
[show less examples...]
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: A simpler but very noticeable two-phase sequence: "... → Relaxation → Engagement → Relaxation → ...". Basically, Relaxation is substituted by Engagement while a conflict is happening.

This is one of the patterns included in our seminal collection [1] but it was presented with another name: "Entrainment". Meanwhile we realized three things:

  • In this pattern, entrainment is the "means", not the solution. Considering that the name of a pattern should reflect the solution (not the means), "Entrainment" was not adequate name.
  • We are not aware of any explicit reference to the iteration of phases this pattern addresses, so we don’t know of a name that is already used to express it. Consequently we had to define it ourselves ("R-A-E-D Iterations" as it stands now), which in this particular circumstance was a challenge that still remains open.
  • Entrainment is indeed a pattern – another pattern. (A pattern that this one makes use of.)
