1: Emotion is superior Emotion was the only fulfilling thing, so I created this theory to defend myself: 1 Emotion can be independent of data (with character) and it 'matters' more, so it's superior to data. But the waywardness of emotion soon unnerved me, and the theory had to change.

2 Emotion is just a lot of data. Emotion is the way humans deal with large quantities of data, its simplification and averaging. Instead of thinking "My dad died, so he won't provide food, he can't guide me in life, I have to move to a different school, I liked who he was and wanted his world influence to continue, etc. " (if anyone has questions about this last point, just post a comment and I'll explain). Instead of all this data, we simplify and feel sad, using emotional words like, "I miss my dad, I loved him."

3: Change large data I made a 5 mn speech about it and resulting feedback brought up the question: why don't people feel big emotion say, when they're married, all the time? You have a huge realm of data together with your spouse, but you don't feel on fire all the time your with that person, right? (this is a healthy marriage). But you do feel something when that person is threatened, right? So the theory is - emotion are change, or threat of change, to large amounts of data.

4: Either a sum of data or a change I jumped back and forth, still, questioning emotion superiority of emo over dat based on theology, etc, emo as cohesiveness/efficiency of a system. Generally, though, I settled on emo as sum of data or change.

5: Emotion is a large amount of data reviewed in the mind. So a man goes on fire when his wife is threatened not neccessaily because it threatens change in the situation, but because it reminds him of a huge part of his life he might lose in a few minutes.

6: Emotion is the experience of value Now we are in value theory. Emotions are the experience of value - the direct pleasure response. This hypothesis does not feel sufficient. Later we modify this to feelings as mechanical spiritual objects. In this sense they are still the experience of value. See emotions / feelings definition page.
