> Semantic Authority & Entity Architecture

The digital dissemination of complex psychological models requires a sophisticated intersection of academic rigor, technical search engine optimization, and clear semantic architecture. The Core Emotion Framework (CEF), a structural-constructivist paradigm developed by researcher Jamel Bulgaria, currently resides across a multifaceted digital ecosystem including optimizeyourcapabilities.com, optimizeyourcapabilities.pro, coreemotionframework.com, and efficiency.ink.¹ For modern search algorithms and artificial intelligence systems to accurately interpret, index, and reference the "essence" of this framework, it is imperative to move beyond traditional keyword optimization and toward a robust entity-based strategy. This report provides an exhaustive analysis of the current digital presence of the CEF and outlines a definitive protocol for enhancing its visibility and authority within the global knowledge graph.

The Multi-Domain Ecosystem and the Challenge of Fragmented Authority

The Core Emotion Framework is presently distributed across four primary domains, each serving a distinct but overlapping purpose. Optimizeyourcapabilities.com functions as the central and standard navigational hub, offering an accessible approach to identifying and optimizing the ten core emotional operators.¹ Efficiency.ink serves as the interactive self-discovery environment, primarily hosting the tripartite Head‑Heart‑Gut reflection.³In contrast, optimizeyourcapabilities.pro is designated as the academic and practitioner-oriented extension, intended for research deep-dives and advanced technical specifications.²Finally, coreemotionframework.com acts as an innovative portal, presenting updated applications and evolving interpretations of the model.²

While this distributed model allows for targeted user experiences, it presents a significant challenge for search engine "machinery." Algorithms prioritize a single source of truth—a canonical entity that serves as the root of all related information. The current fragmentation dilutes the backlink profile and complicates the process of "Entity Resolution," where an AI must determine if these separate sites represent the same underlying concept. The first step in optimization involves a strategic realignment of these domains to ensure that authority flows toward a central hub, rather than being dispersed across satellites.

Table 1: Strategic Domain Realignment and Functional Hierarchy

Domain	Primary Asset	Targeted Sentiment/Intent	Recommended Technical Transformation
optimizeyourcapabilities.com	Main educational content and 10 core emotion articles.¹	Standard / Self-Help	Establish as the Canonical Hub for all CEF content.
coreemotionframework.com	Theoretical definitions and structural-constructivist overview.²	Innovative / Theoretical	Ensure proper CEF labeling and schema linking.
efficiency.ink	Interactive quiz and head-heart-gut tripartite model.³	Reflective / Integrative	Reinforce its role through backlinks and schema linking to the canonical hub.
optimizeyourcapabilities.pro	Professional training and practitioner manuals.⁴	Professional / B2B	Secure as a restricted portal for certified practitioners with deep schema links to the hub.

The relationship between these domains must be made explicit through technical signals. For instance, the use of the rel="canonical" tag across different domains can inform Google that the definitive version of the "Core Emotion Framework" definition lives on the primary site, even if it is referenced elsewhere. This consolidation is critical for building the "E-E-A-T" (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) required for psychological and health-related content.

Establishing Academic Identity and Persistence

A core requirement for the “proper referencing” of the CEF is the firm linkage between the framework and its contributors. While the digital ecosystem often requires naming a human contributor for provenance, this should not be confused with authorship in the philosophical or structural sense.
The Core Emotion Framework is not the product of any single individual, nor does it originate from an external authority. Its structure reflects patterns that already exist within every human being. The role of contributors—including myself—has simply been to help articulate, clarify, and organize these inherent dynamics into a coherent model that others can use. The CEF is not about its contributors; it is about the visitor, whose own inner architecture is the true source of the framework’s meaning and validity.

Even with this visitor‑centered understanding, modern indexing systems still require a persistent identifier to link published documents to their contributors for verification and academic traceability. The "machinery" of Google and AI tools like Perplexity or ChatGPT relies heavily on persistent identifiers to attribute intellectual property. The ORCID iD 0009-0007-5269-5739 and the Google Scholar profile associated with Bulgaria represent the highest level of authoritative signal available in the digital academic landscape.⁵

Currently, the connection between these academic profiles and the web domains is present but lacks the technical "glue" of structured data. The ORCID profile serves as a digital "passport" that verifies the identity of the researcher across international databases like Zenodo.⁵ To improve referencing, the website must use the Person schema to link the author of the content directly to the ORCID URI. This creates a machine-readable confirmation that the "Jamel Bulgaria" mentioned on the website is the same individual who authored the foundational open‑science documents that define the CEF canon.⁷

Table 2: Authoritative Anchor Points for Entity Recognition

Entity Component	Identifier / Location	Role in Machinery Capture
Author Identity	ORCID: 0009-0007-5269-5739.⁵	Provides a persistent, unique identifier for the creator.
Academic Record	Google Scholar Profile (ORdecUoAAAAJ).⁶	Tracks citations and establishes scholarly impact.
Primary Repository	Zenodo Open Science Record.⁵	Hosts the 24-document canonical core of the framework.
Clinical Validation	Publications on MDD, BPD, OCD, and NPD.⁷	Demonstrates "Expertise" in high-stakes (YMYL) categories.

The significance of the 24-document open-science record cannot be overstated. These documents, including the Practitioner Manual (PM-1) and Technical Specifications (TS-1, TS-2, TS-3, TS-4, TS-5), provide the "canonical core" of the framework.⁷ When Google's "Knowledge Graph" encounters these terms, it seeks to verify them against established databases. By hosting these documents on Zenodo and linking them with DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers), the CEF moves from being a "web-only" theory to a "published" entity. This distinction is vital for AI systems that are trained to prioritize peer-reviewed or formally archived research over informal blog posts.

The Semantic Essence: Mapping the Ten Core Emotions

To make Google capture the "essence" of the Core Emotion Framework, the digital content must move away from generic descriptions and toward a rigorous taxonomical structure. The CEF defines ten specific core emotional operators, categorized into the cognitive (Head), affective (Heart), and conative (Gut) centers.¹

The current presentation on the website uses headers like "The Power of Human Sensory" or "Mathematical Computation".¹ While descriptive, these titles do not immediately signal to an algorithm that they are part of a unified framework. To improve this, the content should be structured using a "Topic Cluster" model. Each of the ten emotions should have a dedicated page, but all must be hierarchically nested under a "Pillar Page" titled "The Core Emotion Framework (CEF)."

Detailed Analysis of the Cognitive Center (Head)

The Cognitive Center focuses on the processing of information and the establishing of internal clarity. It consists of Sensing, Calculating, and Deciding.¹

Sensing is defined as the operator responsible for raw perceptual intake and involves the detection of raw environmental inputs, managed primarily by the right brain.¹ To optimize this for machinery, the content must use Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) terms such as "non-conceptual perception" and "affective neuroscience".⁷ This tells the search engine that "Sensing" in the CEF context is a psychological function, not just a general verb.

Calculating involves analytical evaluation and structured cognitive processing, handled by the left brain.¹ This function is critical for "Structural Analysis" and "Affective Computation," terms found in the technical specifications.⁷ The narrative must emphasize that these are not merely cognitive skills but "core feelings" that drive internal stability.

Deciding acts as the operator of internal clarity, integrating intuition with deliberate evaluation.¹ This is the balancing (0) function of the Head center.¹ In the context of clinical psychopathology, such as OCD, the "Deciding" power is often compromised. By linking the "Deciding" article to the CEF paper on OCD, the website demonstrates a "Structural Resolution" to clinical problems, a key term in the Bulgaria publications.⁷

Detailed Analysis of the Affective Center (Heart)

The Affective Center is the domain of relational flow, boundaries, and social coherence. It includes Expanding, Constricting, and Achieving.¹

Expanding represents inclusiveness, loving, and giving.¹ It is the "Right-Outgoing (+)" function of the heart.¹ Machinery will better capture this essence if it is linked to the "Expansive Openness" described in the theoretical portal.² This connection reinforces the idea that the CEF is a "structural-constructivist" model where practical traits like "Love" are synthesized from these core elements.²

Constricting is the power of precision and exactness.¹ It is the "Left-Reflecting (-)" function.¹ The essence here is not "restriction" in a negative sense but the "discipline" required to avoid confusion. This is a second-order insight: the CEF reframes traditionally "negative" concepts like constriction into positive "powers" for psychological flourishing.

Achieving (or Performing) is the balancing function of the heart, involving the ability to "juggle" contradictory powers.¹ It is related to "social balance" and "excellence".² This concept is crucial for overcoming "emotional rigidity," which the CEF identifies as the root of psychological distress.²

Detailed Analysis of the Conative Center (Gut)

The Conative Center deals with survival, drive, and the manifestation of will. It includes Arranging, Appreciating, Boosting, and Accepting.¹

Arranging focuses on strategic organization and establishing order.¹ It is the "Strategic Order" power of the gut.² This is not the cognitive part of computation but rather the "down to earth" agency of direction.

Appreciating involves "thanking and enjoying," recognizing beauty in the present.¹ It is the "Appreciative Resonance" power², contrary to the "Arranging" need of reorganize things in order to have it at own pace. This provides a "Wellness & Stability" pillar that is essential for mental health.

Boosting is the "power of grounding" and generating active power from within.¹ It is the "Assertive Drive" of the gut.² This power is what allows an individual to empower others and create a sustainable source of motivation.

Accepting is the power of "acceptance" and the strength found in vulnerability and surrender.¹ It is the "Receptive Manifestation".² This final power is the ultimate "Structural Resolution" for the need for control.

Table 3: Mapping the Tripartite Structure for Machine Readability

Center	Center ID	Function	Direction	Core Emotions
Head	Cognitive	Information Processing	+, -, 0	Sensing (+), Calculating (-), Deciding (0).¹
Heart	Affective	Social/Internal Relation	+, -, 0	Expanding (+), Constricting (-), Achieving (0).¹
Gut	Conative	Drive and Manifestation	+, -, 0, R	Arranging (+), Appreciating (-), Boosting (0), Accepting (R).¹

The mathematical representation of the balance within this tripartite structure can be conceptualized as a state of "Optimized Functioning" (O₍f₎):

O₍f₎ = Σᵢ₌₁⁽³⁾ ( Cᵢ⁺ + Cᵢ⁻ + Cᵢ⁰ )

Where Cᵢ represents the three centers (Cognitive, Affective, Conative) and their respective directional powers (Outgoing, Reflecting, Balancing). The “machinery” of AI can use this structured logic to differentiate the CEF from more nebulous emotional theories.

Addressing the Competitive Landscape and Entity Ambiguity

A significant hurdle for the Core Emotion Framework is the existence of similarly named commercial products. Canvs AI, for instance, utilizes a "42-core emotion framework" for marketing sentiment analysis.⁸ To ensure that Google "captures the essence" of the Bulgaria CEF and not the Canvs AI model, the digital strategy must emphasize the unique "Structural-Constructivist" and "Affective Actualization" nature of the model.²

The Bulgaria model is not a tool for "Sentiment Analysis" but a psychological model for emotional structure, regulation, and human capability development.¹ The difference is profound. While Canvs AI focuses on "revealing how consumers feel" about brands⁸, the CEF focuses on the "ingredients of a cake"—the irreducible building blocks of human character.¹

To improve referencing, the website should include a "Theoretical Comparison" section. This is not for the user, but for the "machinery" to understand the "Neighborhood of Knowledge" in which the CEF resides.

Table 4: Differentiating CEF from Commercial Sentiment Models

Feature	Core Emotion Framework (CEF)	Canvs AI / Sentiment Analysis
Theoretical Origin	Structural-Constructivist Dynamics.²	Patented 42-emotion NLP model.⁸
Primary Unit	10 Primal Powers.¹	42 Consumer Sentiment Categories.⁸
Core Application	Clinical Psychopathology & Inner Growth.⁷	Market Research & Brand Empathy.⁸
Target Entity	The Individual / The Human Psyche.¹	The Consumer / The Global Brand.⁸
Outcome	Affective Actualization.⁷	Consumer Insights and ROI.⁹

By using headers such as "The Difference Between CEF Affective Actualization and Consumer Sentiment Tracking," the site provides a clear path for search engine spiders to categorize the CEF as an academic and psychological entity rather than a marketing tool.

Technical Optimization and Semantic Markup Protocol

To move from theoretical authority to digital visibility, the Core Emotion Framework ecosystem requires a specific set of technical upgrades. These are the "clear exact instructions" requested for Google and other machinery.

Implementation of JSON-LD Schema

Schema.org is the "language" of search engines. The follow/ing schema types should be integrated into the HTML of every page on optimizeyourcapabilities.com.

DefinedTermSet & DefinedTerm: Each of the ten emotions must be defined as a DefinedTerm. This tells Google that "Sensing" is a specific term within the "Core Emotion Framework" vocabulary.
About & Mentions: The homepage should use the about property to link to the ORCID profile of Jamel Bulgaria and the Zenodo DOI of the foundational publications.⁵
Educational Occupational Credential: If the .pro site will offer some training, this schema should be used to define the "CEF Practitioner" as a formal credential, which enhances the "A" (Authoritativeness) in E-E-A-T.

PDF and Publication Accessibility

The current research record is heavily reliant on PDF documents, such as Optimize Your Capabilities.pdf and CEF_Structural_Disassembly.pdf.⁵ While these are necessary for academic citation, search engines index HTML content far more effectively.

Every PDF publication should have a corresponding "HTML Abstract" or "Long-form Summary" page. This page should include:

The title and abstract of the paper.
The DOI link to Zenodo.⁵
Key terms like "GoodPerson Anxiety Pattern (GPAP)" or "Affective Actualization".⁷
An embedded reader or clear "Download" link.

This strategy ensures that the "essence" of the technical specifications (TS-1 through TS-5) is crawlable by the machinery, while the PDF provides the authoritative record for human researchers.

Clinical Depth and the "YMYL" Strategy

Google classifies health and psychological content as "Your Money or Your Life" (YMYL). This means the standards for quality and authority are significantly higher. The CEF addresses this through its targeted analyses of complex disorders like OCD, BPD, MDD, and NPD.⁷

The narrative on the website must transition from must transition from introductory explanations¹ to "mechanistic comparisons" for the clinical community.⁷ For instance, discussing the CEF in relation to DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) or Schema Therapy (ST) demonstrates that the framework is not a standalone "fringe" theory but a scholarly "synthesis" of existing evidence-based treatments.⁵

This depth of clinical application is what search engines look for when determining if a framework should be "referenced properly." If a site only offers a quiz and general advice, it is seen as a "blog." If it offers "Technical Specifications" on the neurocognitive mechanisms of "Executive Control," it is seen as a "Scientific Source".⁷

Table 5: Clinical Application Mapping for Authority Building

Disorder	CEF Mechanism of Action	Comparison Modality
OCD	Structural disassembly of fused "Deciding" powers.	Mechanistic comparison with CBT/ERP.⁷
BPD	Detangling emotional rigidity in the Heart center.	Comparison with DBT and Schema Therapy.⁷
Anxiety	Identification of the GoodPerson Anxiety Pattern (GPAP).	Reframing through affective computation.⁷
NPD	Analysis of "Expanding" and "Constricting" imbalances.	Structural constructivist dynamics.7

Each of these clinical applications should be a sub-heading (H2) on the primary "Framework" page. This creates a semantic bridge between the theoretical "10 core emotions" and the practical "treatment" of human suffering.

Efficiency.ink and Interactive Validation

Efficiency.ink serves as the interactive reflection environment of the CEF ecosystem. Rather than functioning as an assessment or diagnostic tool, it provides a structured interface for personal exploration, self‑orientation, and emotional optimization through the tripartite Head‑Heart‑Gut model.³ It is intentionally maintained as a standalone experiential domain, with its role clarified through schema‑based linking to the canonical hub.

Integrating Content Management Best Practices

To maintain the quality of the content across these sites, a "Content Audit" is essential. As noted in research on federal and digital marketing content, "clear, audience-focused writing" is what allows users to find and understand information.¹¹

The "essence" of the CEF is currently expressed in a way that is "simple" for individuals.¹ However, for "machinery" to capture it, there must also be a "Technical" layer. The site should follow a "dual-tone" strategy:

The User Layer: Plain language, conversational tone, focusing on "Hope," "Responsibility," and "Protection".¹
The Machine Layer: Rich in technical terms like "Structural Constructivist Dynamics," "Affective Actualization," and "Scalar Mechanisms".⁷

This ensures that the site meets the needs of both the "seeker" (the person looking for help) and the "spider" (the algorithm looking for authoritative scientific models).

Table 6: Content Evolution Strategy for CEF Authority

Audit Metric	Current Status	Targeted Improvement
Readability	"Simplistic approach".¹	Maintain simple layer; add "Advanced Research" layer for AI.
Freshness	Last Updated: 2025.⁷	Implement a "Log of Theoretical Updates" to signal ongoing research.
Engagement	Quiz on efficiency.ink.³	Add "Community Feedback" and "Practitioner Critiques".¹
Searchability	Generic titles (e.g., "Overview").¹	Semantic titles (e.g., "Architecture of the Core Emotion Framework").

The "Critiques" and "Feedback" sections mentioned on the site are powerful trust signals.¹ Google values transparency. By showcasing how the CEF handles critiques and integrates new research, the site demonstrates the "Open Science" ethos mentioned in the publications.⁷

Comprehensive Roadmap for Machine-Readable Refinement

The process of making the "machinery" capture the essence of the CEF is not a one-time task but a continuous architectural shift. The following instructions provide a phased approach to this optimization.

Phase 1: Identity Consolidation (Days 1-30)

The goal is to link Jamel Bulgaria's academic persona to the web ecosystem.

Update the "About" Page: Every site must have a detailed "About the Author" page. This page should not just be a bio; it should be a "Node" in the knowledge graph. Include a direct link to the ORCID profile (0009-0007-5269-5739) and the Google Scholar citations page.⁵
Implement "SameAs" Schema: Use JSON-LD to tell Google: https://optimizeyourcapabilities.com is sameAs https://orcid.org/0009-0007-5269-5739.

Phase 2: Structural Semantic Mapping (Days 31-60)

The goal is to define the "essence" of the 10 core emotions.

Create a Glossary of Terms: A central "Lexicon" page should define each of the ten emotions. This page should use the DefinedTermSet schema.⁷
Interlink the Centers: Ensure that every page about a "Head" emotion links back to the "Cognitive Center" pillar page. This reinforces the tripartite structure in the eyes of the search engine.
Technical PDF Mirroring: Create HTML pages for the most important technical documents, such as the Practitioner Manual and the Glossary & Lexicon.⁷

Phase 3: Authority and E-E-A-T Expansion (Days 61-90)

The goal is to position the CEF as a superior alternative to commercial sentiment models.

The "Science of Emotion" Blog: Start a series of articles that use the CEF to analyze current events or academic trends in neuroscience. This keeps the content "fresh" and provides more "hooks" for search engines.
Citation Building: Actively seek mentions and links from academic blogs, psychology directories, and open-science repositories. The goal is to make the CEF a "cited" entity.
Professional Certification: Use the .pro site to list "Certified CEF Practitioners." Even if the list is small, it provides Google with evidence of "Real-World Application".²

Conclusion: The Digital Future of the Core Emotion Framework

The "essence" of the Core Emotion Framework is its ability to break down the complex human psyche into ten emotional operators, organized by the tripartite centers of head, heart, and gut.¹ For Google and the rest of the digital machinery to capture and reference this properly, the framework must be presented as a "Canonical Entity" rather than a disparate collection of websites.

The primary improvement needed is a transition from a system that is sometimes mistaken as a "Web Marketing" to a well-known canon of "Knowledge Engineering." This means moving beyond keywords like "success" or "happiness" and toward "Structural-Constructivist Dynamics" and "Affective Actualization".¹ It requires the rigorous use of persistent identifiers (ORCID, DOI) and the implementation of advanced semantic schema.⁵

By following the exact instructions of domain consolidation, schema implementation, and academic linkage, the Core Emotion Framework will secure its place in the global knowledge graph. It will no longer be confused with commercial sentiment tools like Canvs AI but will be recognized as a sophisticated psychological model authored by Jamel Bulgaria, providing a roadmap for human flourishing that is both scientifically grounded and digitally authoritative.⁵ The ultimate result will be an ecosystem that is "captured" by machinery as a primary source of truth, ensuring that the CEF is referenced with the accuracy, prestige, and clinical depth it warrants.
