Core Emotion Framework (CEF)

The Core Emotion Framework (CEF) is a structured emotional ontology defining ten Core Emotions organized across the Head, Heart, and Gut centers.
Each Core Emotion is modeled as a functional operator — a cognitive, relational, or motoric process — rather than a feeling label.

CEF provides a unified architecture for emotional reasoning, self‑regulation, leadership, education, and applied affective computation.

This Space hosts interactive demonstrations, visualizations, and computational tools built on top of the CEF ontology.


🔍 What Is the Core Emotion Framework?

CEF is a higher‑order emotional intelligence system grounded in operator‑level emotional mechanics.
It is used across:

  • Emotional reasoning and decision‑making
  • Therapeutic transformation and emotional detangling
  • Leadership and communication training
  • AI‑aligned affective computation
  • Education and developmental psychology
  • Human‑machine interaction and emotional modeling

Canonical versions are maintained across Zenodo and optimizeyourcapabilities.com.


🧠 The Ten Core Emotions (Operators)

Head Center — Cognitive Operators

  • Sensing — raw perception and information intake
  • Calculating — analysis, modeling, prediction
  • Deciding — commitment, selection, logical saturation

Heart Center — Relational Operators

  • Expanding — openness, connection, generosity
  • Constricting — boundaries, protection, withdrawal
  • Achieving — striving, progress, relational contribution

Gut Center — Motoric Operators

  • Arranging — structuring, organizing, sequencing
  • Appreciating — savoring, valuing, recognition
  • Boosting — activation, drive, mobilization
  • Accepting — grounding, integration, release
