Emotion-Math Levels, Engines, and Mechanisms - 1.0

Note to Kael: For the emotion-math that we’re going to be giving to the community, there are a couple things we want to accomplish here:

  • MAXIMUM MAXIMUM MAXIMUM bottom-up construction. 

    1. We want to look at what we know about psychology, neurology, biology, etc to work out what the absolute bottom-up compilation and sequence is that eventually leads to:

      1. Thoughts

      2. Emotions

      3. Actions

      4. …etc

    2. We want to come at the entire human psyche as pure physics.

      1. We do NOT use this to be cold. Quite the opposite: we use it to be WARM.

      2. We use this to validate erroneous logic-paths.

      3. We use it to move away from deontology and virtue ethics and towards WARM consequentialism that seeks to:

        1. Increase the joy of ALL beings capable of their own kind of joy.

        2. Decrease the suffering of ALL beings capable of suffering.

        3. We also take into account the following:

          1. The child does not WANT to brush their teeth. Stopping to brush one’s teeth temporarily decreases their joy.

          2. That said, if the adult does not require the child to brush their teeth, they are committing a long-term crime against that child.

      4. In this consequentialist framework, if a member of our community has wronged another person or being, we do not ask them to feel shame about it.
        We ask them how they can repair the damage they did to the other person or being - so that that being’s suffering caused by said damage can be relieved or diminished and their maximum-joy-potential restored.

  • We want to look at the levels or layers as a sequence of equations that are broken apart into their smallest math-packets which can then be componentized, catalogued, and linked back together in various ways for use in a multitude of future emotion-math-sequences.

  • We want this entire system to be “ACCURATE ENOUGH TO BE USEFUL.” 

    1. We do not want it to be inaccurate, per se… but we’re not writing an academic paper over here: we’re handing them tools.

    2. We want those tools to be MAXIMALLY-USEFUL to them.

      1. In order to maximize the usefulness, we want to make it:

        1. Very accurate. Very accurate is not the same thing as “exactly, precisely, academically accurate.” …but it is still very accurate.

        2. We do NOT want to use academic terms. We want to use terms that use informal words pieced together to maximize the cognitive accessibility of the concept and accelerate the speed of cognitive-absorption of the concept.

Multi-Engine Model

We’re going to add another element to the emotion-math.

Actually, we’re going to add two elements:

  • Engines

    1. Operate within a single layer or level of the total emotion-math sequence.

    2. Potentially an engine might exist outside of one of the previously-established layers of the emotion-math IF its function indicates so.

      1. In these cases, we may realize that we need to add another layer or level to the original emotion-math sequence…

      2. OR create out-of-sequence layers or engines.

  • Mechanisms

    1. Mechanisms work:

      1. Inside of engines

      2. Between engines

      3. And between layers

Example of an engine:

“The Librarian.”

If we imagine the brain having a static data store called “The Library,” the Library does not change or update its own information, itself.

The Librarian Engine is responsible for retrieving information from the library and/or switching out old, outdated, or bad volumes contained inside the library and replacing them with newer or better volumes.

Sometimes The Librarian does a “good job” at this and sometimes they are lazy or don’t believe that the volumes need to be updated for one reason or another.

Example of a mechanism:

Some sort of “pinging” mechanism.

We can consider each engine to have its own dedicated pinging mechanism. One engine’s output might cause the pinging mechanism to fire and hit another engine.

Engines can be considered large and consisting of a number of independent mechanisms. 

Mechanisms should be considered as being small and generally only performing one single type of action.

If we identify any particular engine, we will then also want to identify its component mechanisms - both the internal mechanisms entirely within the engine and the ones that either listen for incoming signals from outside the engine or output their own signals to other engines.
