is “valence” as a word meaning “quantity of options which one may freely choose between” not a common usage?!

Follow

used like “how much valence”, “more/less valence”, “increase/decrease the valence”

differs from “how much freedom” in that one may have high freedom to choose between a small set of choices, but that would be low valence

@Lady I'm... not sure I've ever seen that word used that way. I see how it derives, but it's not common in my experience, at least.

@noelle yeah i think my brain might have just made that one up! which is a bit surprising to me
