ABSTRACT
In the previous chapter, and for expository purposes, we have used a fairly limited version of ideology as default parameters (evaluation, inertia and significance) associated with types. This restricted definition of ideology does not give us any clue on how connection weights should be set. And indeed, in the last chapter, very little has been said on connection parameters. All we have done until now is to classify relations under three general categories: mutual attraction, mutual repulsion and attractionrepulsion. But in practice, this typology does not provide us with numerical values for relations. How we should set parameters, and in particular, connection weights, is the object of this chapter.
