Put positively, symbiotic mechanisms offer a sort of security for media-guided processes with which they find themselves matched. This security becomes all the more important, the higher the selectivity of the regulated experience/act on both sides and the more insecurely the selection comes about. If much is feasible, the sooner one has to know what it is that one should be aware of; if anyone could marry anyone else, sexuality would become more important as a basis and proof of love.
