- Social verb class
- little effect on topology
verbs which do very little, and may either
have no objects, or one object (which we'll
call dirobj).
Note that Social verbs may take on a whole new
meaning with emotive characters. These may become
every bit as meaningful as action verbs. The
distinction then will be that social verbs affect
the agent state of other characters while action
verbs affect the topological world.
(But since agents emit action verbs based on
emotive state, social verbs may indirectly affect
the topo world. This makes for a new dimension in
game play involving complex persuasion tasks).
