Diagrams

Diagrams from Affective Computational Geometry, tracing relationships between emotion, meaning, perception, action, and color.

Four circles of decreasing size accompany a definition of the emotional system as a generative, evaluative, adaptive, and translational architecture.

The Emotional System

Open image
A wireframe sphere illustrates emotion as a global field condition that configures sensitivity, salience, and responsiveness within a system.

Emotion — Field

Open image
Curved paths radiate from a central mass. Meaning introduces weight into an emotional field, exerting pull on perception and action.

Meaning — Mass

Open image
Two eyes cross a wireframe field with directional arrows, illustrating perception as a path shaped by meaning, curvature, bias, and constraint.

Perception — Trajectory

Open image
Curved paths converge on a point, illustrating action as movement along gradients within the emotional field.

Action — Gradient

Open image
Emotion, meaning, perception, and action form a feedback structure. They correspond to field, mass, trajectory, and gradient, alongside affect as energetic substrate.

Structural Behavior of the Emotional System

Open image
A circle labeled Today is compared with a deformed circle using the expression Today times e to the negative lambda plus XY; lambda is decay constant, X material memory, and Y force applied.

Emotional Temporal Deformation

Open image
Three rows of rectangular pulses show affect at the slowest rate, emotion at a faster rate, and sentiment at the fastest rate. Colored outlines connect intervals across the rows.

Sample Rate of Affect, Emotion, and Sentiment

Open image
Feeling is described as a system sampling itself at multiple rates: affect defines conditions of possibility, emotion organizes temporary structures, and sentiment continuously interprets the present.

Sample Rate — Explanation

Open image
Experiences including nostalgia, falling in love, religion, grief, and fitness tracking are plotted between bounded and high-dimensional mind, and symbolic and embodied attachment.

Generative Meaning Space

Open image
Six concentric color bands correspond to perceptual contrast, survival signal, environmental differentiation, cognitive abstraction, material specificity, and symbolic proliferation.

Social Chromatic Field

Open image
Twelve differently colored versions of one portrait are labeled Happy, Sad, Angry, Excited, Afraid, Loved, Surprised, Desire, Envy, Fear, Interest, and Pride.

Emotional Rendering Relativity

Open image
The word Chromophobia appears in a spectrum of colors behind a white prohibition symbol.
