On the ui thing, Lojbab's mention of the modifiers is not sufficient to

Is 'physical love' the kind where you cuddle a lot, the kind where you have
lots of sex (like the greek eros), both,
I would presume either, possibly with an intensity marker, maybe with an
exertion/effort indicator for the more active sort and a "comfort"
indicator for the cuddling.
or something else? What is 'mental
love' - amourous thoughts or love of knowledge?
A love expressed primarily through mental activity. This might range from
Don Quixote's love for his ideal lady to the mental recollection of the
cuddling and /or sex of the previous example.
What is social happiness? If
these are to be useful they need more clarification.
The Greeks elaborated their theories of love over centuries. You want a
Lojban science of emotions to appear in moments. Use the language and your
usage will come to embody that clarification.
