 ContestA SocialInteraction where the agent and patient are CognitiveAgents who are trying to defeat one another. Note that this concept is often applied in a metaphorical sense in natural language, when we speak, e.g., of the struggle of plants for space or sunlight, or of bacteria for food resources in some environment.

 GaslightingGaslighting is a colloquialism that is loosely defined as making someone question their reality. The term is also used informally to describe someone (a 'gaslighter') who persistently puts forth a false narrative which leads another person (or a group of people) to doubt their own perceptions to the extent that they become disoriented and distressed. This dynamic is generally only possible when the audience is vulnerable such as in unequal power relationships or when the audience is fearful of the losses associated with challenging the false narrative. Gaslighting is not necessarily malicious or intentional, although in some cases it is. [from Wikipedia]
 HelpingFrom WordNet: give help or assistance, be of service. Examples: Everyone helped out during the earthquake. Can you help me carry this table? She never helps around the house.
 MeetingThe coming together of two or more CognitiveAgents for the purpose of Communication. This covers informal meetings, e.g. visits with family members, and formal meetings, e.g. a board of directors meeting.

 PollutionPollution is the contamination of an environment by man-made wastes.
 PretendingAny SocialInteraction where a CognitiveAgent or Group of CognitiveAgents attempts to make another CognitiveAgent or Group of CognitiveAgents believe something that is false. This covers deceit, affectation, impersonation, and entertainment productions, to give just a few examples.
