Emotionics 2.1 – Interaction Matrix
■ Definition of States (Four Reaction States)
• (a) Feel Real: Directly feeling one’s genuine emotions.
• (b) Feign Real: Acting one’s genuine emotions “as if they were natural.”
• (c) Feel Fake: Internally experiencing false emotions “as if they were real.”
• (d) Feign Fake: Performing false emotions for outward manipulation or display.
■ Target Model
N(A):N(B) Model (Collective-to-Collective Emotionics)
A multi-layered, mutually interfering emotional interaction model between Group A ↔ Group B.
■ Rules (Basic Principles)
• Each player can choose either the same or a different reaction state from the opponent.
• Therefore, A and B form 4×4 = 16 possible combinations.
