What is Emotionics?
Emotionics is a new framework that treats human emotions through the lens of chemistry.
Just as chemistry represents compounds using formulas, emotional states can be represented with Emotion Formulas.
Emotion Formula
E = f(R, C, S)
Where:
- E = Resulting Emotion
- R = Emotional Elements (the “atoms” of emotion)
- C = Reaction Conditions (concentration, temperature, activation energy, etc.)
- S = Reaction Spaces (where the emotional reaction occurs)
S = { Internal Mind, Mirror External Mind, True External Space }
The Core Principle of the Table
The Emotional Periodic Table organizes emotional elements like a chemical periodic table. It follows three key rules:
- Rule 1: Expressibility
Each element can be used in a sentence:
"I feel [emotional element]."
Example: "I feel Joy", "I feel Guilt". - Rule 2: Period-Based Reactivity
Emotions in Period 1 are lighter and more reactive.
Emotions in Period 3 are heavier and react less easily.
This vertical layout represents reaction energy or depth. - Rule 3: Symmetry
The table is symmetrically organized from pleasant to unpleasant feelings.
Periods 1 to 3: From Quick Sparks to Deep Fires
Period 1 includes rapid, surface-level feelings (e.g., Surprise).
Period 2 includes simple yet grounded emotions (e.g., Joy, Sadness).
Period 3 holds deep, slower-reacting feelings (e.g., Guilt, Despair, Hope).
The deeper the period, the more emotionally “dense” the element—requiring more energy to be activated, but also producing more impact.
Practical Applications of This Table
One emerging use is in SIGMA, a proposed global data platform.
To prevent emotional manipulation in large-scale systems (like AI-generated media or political speech), we need new kinds of emotion-based judgment criteria.
Emotionics offers tools for emotion-aware censorship, recommendation systems, and ethics engines.
Why Some Cells Are Blank
This table is a living model.
Some emotional elements are still missing, while others may never exist for certain individuals. That is not a flaw—but a feature of this approach.
Emotionics embraces emotional diversity and the existence of unfounded, undiscovered emotions.
Conclusion: Feeling as a Science
Psychology builds its foundation on statistics.
Emotionics, in contrast, stands on principled modeling—just like chemistry.
By seeing feelings as structured elements, we may build more ethical, interpretable, and even healable systems—for both humans and intelligent machines.
📌 Suggestions for Next Article:
Since this post is focused on the periodic table itself, the next one could explore:
- Reaction Conditions: what triggers an emotion, and how?
- Reaction Spaces: internal vs social vs global emotion fields
- Emotion Synthesis: how complex emotions are formed
Statement for World Readers
Some domestic forces continue to obstruct my peaceful intellectual and creative activities, despite my efforts to contribute to the betterment of our world.
As internal correction seems unlikely, I humbly ask for your quiet awareness and support in discouraging such interference—so that knowledge and dialogue may flow freely.
