In general, manipulation is a human activity dealing with physical states of objects, or mental states of persons. Typically the word manipulation is used with a negative connotation. When used with a negative connotation, the goal of the manipulative activity can be either not clear, or incomprehensible or morally/legally unacceptable. The end result of this kind of activity is typically to leave the system or person being manipulated in a less coherent, worse of state to facilitate the petty and whimsical gains or desires of the person or entity attempting the manipulative activity.
