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
