# 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
