Meditation 1:
The psychic cousin is indeed connected to the network of things.
Let’s assume that it works, for simplicity, on decks of two cards: an Ace and a King.
The True Love/Communing is more complicated: Does True Love have any discernible effect? If we assume True Love, say, changes the probability of having a fight (or some property of the fight—for example, a fight without reconciliation inside of 24 hours), then we should have a diagram:
True Love --> Communing says True Love

\/
No fight
and resulting joint probability distributions. Since “fighting” is something observable (by a trained psychologist, say, who puts them in the “Love Lab” http://www.gottman.com/49847/The-Love-Lab.html) we have connectedness.
