; EVAL-COHERE compares 4 different algorithms for accepting
and rejecting
; elements based on coherence.
; 1. COH-COUNT generates all possible solutions and ranks the
ones that
; best maximize the total weight W of constraints.
; 2. COH-POINT-5 is an incremental approximation algorithm that
guarantees that at
; least .5 of the achievable W will be achieved.
; 3. COH-POINT-878 is an approximation algorithm that guarantees
that at
; least .878 of the achievable W will be achieved. Not implemented
here.
; 4. CONNECT-SOLUTION uses a connectionist algorithm to accept
and reject elements.
; This function assumes that a network of constraints has already
been set up by
; ECHO, DECO, ACME, IMP, or other coherence program.
; 5. GREEDY uses a greedy algorithm to maximize coherence.
; For emotional coherence, HOTCO, only exhaustive and connectionist
algorithms are used.

fraction of

of
; the total number of constraints satisfied.

; Pure: no favored elements.

accepted.
