In order to understand how humans—and intelligent systems—make decisions, we must examine both thought algorithms and emotional algorithms.
The diagram below outlines their complementary structures:
🧪 Today’s Science
Modern science has primarily focused on the laws of the physical universe, often excluding the complexity of human emotion.
Computer science, in particular, excels in modeling thought algorithms—but remains underdeveloped in modeling emotional ones.
Yet in complex systems such as the Blue Planet System (BPS), emotions are an essential factor in human behavior and collective intelligence.
Emotionics aims to establish a scientific framework for visualizing, analyzing, and operationalizing emotions.
We cannot fully understand decision-making systems without acknowledging both cognitive structure and emotional dynamics.
📘 The Definition of Emotionics
Emotionics is the scientific study of emotional algorithms—systems that govern the reaction, propagation, and modulation of emotions in both humans and intelligent agents.
🔧 Emotional Algorithms
Emotions are not random; they are reactive phenomena that arise when specific conditions are met.
As such, emotional reactions can be modeled, predicted, and even regulated—much like physical or chemical reactions.
In the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), understanding the structure of human emotion is indispensable.
This structure consists of three core components:
- Emotional elements (e.g., joy, fear, sadness, guilt)
- Framing structures (how stimuli are interpreted to trigger emotional responses)
- Emotional algorithms (the rules and conditions under which emotions arise and evolve)
Emotional algorithms are principled frameworks for understanding and reproducing human emotional patterns in a scientific and structural way.
⚖️ Thought Algorithms vs Emotional Algorithms
Thought algorithms define the structure of reasoning.
Emotional algorithms define the structure of feeling and reaction.
True intelligence emerges only when the two are integrated.
When complete reasoning is infused with emotional depth, it transforms into intention—and ultimately, into action.
Without one or the other, intelligence remains incomplete.
🧩 The Three Components of Emotionics
- Emotional Elements: Pleasure, discomfort, joy, anger, sadness, fear, surprise, relief, jealousy, guilt, etc.
- Reaction Conditions: Activation energy, intensity, exposure (“temperature”), and catalysts (e.g., trust, shared language)
- Reaction Spaces: Internal (the individual mind) and external (social networks, media, society)
These three elements form the foundation for modeling emotional reactions as programmable systems.
In Emotionics, these elements are not static—they interact dynamically, just as they do in real human experience.
🌐 Relationship between BPS and Emotionics
Within the Blue Planet System (BPS), Emotionics serves as the emotional operating layer—an interpretive framework that enables other components (NWO, NWP, SIGMA, LUNA) to handle emotional dynamics with precision, empathy, and foresight.
Without Emotionics, any rational design risks emotional rejection.
In this sense, Emotionics acts as the emotional infrastructure of the BPS—bridging rational architecture with the affective dimension of intelligent systems.
