Studies and theoretical approaches The human relationship is approached by Robert Zuili from the angle of the quality of emotional interactions. He explained through a model called the "Rope Theory" how the bond is built between people. Like a rope, the relationship is made up of fibers, called the 5 emotional fibers of the relationship: feeling, deep compatibility, complementarity, connivance, and understanding. The feeling: it is the capacity that we have to understand each other when we speak to each other. Deep compatibility: it is the fact of sharing values, an ideology, that brings us closer together or separates us. Complementarity is when we are able to feed the exchange with opposing, similar or complementary points of view. Connivance: it is the ability we have to be aligned with our feelings in the face of everyday events. The understanding: the higher the understanding, the more it reflects the low risk of conflict in the relationship.

Robert Zuili determines that there are mainly three filters that condition our relationship to the world and influence our perception and understanding: The Real, the Imaginary and the Symbolic.
