The hypothesized influence of a best friend's educational and occupational aspirations on the formation of ego's aspirations and the reciprocal influence in the opposite direction can be represented in path diagrams and equation systems involving simultaneous or jointly dependent variables.

The analytic process is explained, two computational algorithms (rules-of-thumb) are given, and an example involving feedback is detailed, and inclusion of feedback, and thus homeostasis, is an important feature of this presentation.

The Fletcher-Powell algorithm for minimizing a function of several variables and its use is discussed and illustrated and it is shown that the algorithm can be used also when the variables satisfy certain equality constraints.
