Value compatibility calculator

This component provides the functionality to compute the degree of compatibility among a set of values. Given a set of values VV (each with its associated value semantics function) and a normative system NN, we state that the values in VV are compatible to degree dd under NN if AlgnN,vid\mathsf{Algn}_{N, v_i} \leq d, viV\forall v_i \in V. Hence, the maximum degree of compatibility among the values in VV is dmax=maxviVAlgnN,vid_{\text{max}} = \max\limits_{v_i \in V} \mathsf{Algn}_{N, v_i}. This is the quantity that this component is able to compute.

Consequently, a Compatibility Calculator is initialized by providing the set of value semantics functions for which the degree of compatibility is computed. This differs from the Alignment calculator and the Shapley calculator which are initialized with a single value semantics function.
