Summary of Behavior 

·        The relative severity assignment is fixed to the pair and is unidirectional:

¡        Does not affect the severity of the log controller.

¡        Does not affect the severity of the log controller being attached.

·        Output methods also have to be explicit with which relative(s).

·        The severity relative is hereditary.

·        It is recommended that you specify an explicit relative assignment for the relative itself.

·        The evaluation always results in a more relaxing condition (allows more output).

·        The evaluation is done independently for the calling log controller and the relative log controller. Each evaluation treats the other log controller as relative and performs the calculation with respect to its own severity configuration (if any).
