Symbiotic Cooperation

Eco-Relation (+,+)

Eco-Relations are expressed in ecological terms, in emotional reactions, and in subject-object interactions. They are also associated with the seasons of a particular period's development.

The ecological term for the cooperative stage is symbiosis. The subject-object pair is related to this term. For instance, cooperation's pair (+,+) implies that both the subject and the object for that particular period benefit from the interaction.

The emotional term associated with symbiosis is cooperation. It generally implies a desire to agree with the suggestions of others on the assumption it well benefit the self as well.

Note to those for whom these terms carry emotional baggage:

If the term "cooperation" carries a positive connotation for you, please understand that such a connoted meaning is somewhat intended to be implied here. Cooperation isn't entirely a value-neutral term in the science of ecology.

Symbiotic relations are necessary to most (if not all) functioning ecosystems. But this does not imply that symbiotic cooperation is an absolute good or that there aren't times when its opposite is not necessary for growth.
