Co-author and developer of the Core Emotion Framework (CEF), responsible for its ontology, architecture, and canonical integrity.
The Core Emotion Framework is a structurally defined emotional operating system organized around three centers (Head, Heart, Gut) and ten functional operators, designed to enable precise emotional reasoning, intervention, and alignment across contexts.
The three primary centers of the Core Emotion Framework: Head, Heart, and Gut.
The Head Center in the Core Emotion Framework, responsible for cognitive, interpretive, and meaning-making processes that govern how experiences are framed and understood.
The Heart Center in the Core Emotion Framework, responsible for relational, affective, and value-oriented processes that govern connection, care, and emotional resonance.
The Gut Center in the Core Emotion Framework, responsible for action, boundary, and instinctive processes that govern commitment, protection, and forward movement.
The ten functional operators of the Core Emotion Framework, each representing a specific, actionable emotional process organized across Head, Heart, and Gut centers.
The outgoing Head-center capacity to sense and obtain raw data or stimuli.
The reflecting cognitive tool to analyze and calculate possibilities and outcome.
The balanced summary of the sensed and calculated viewpoint.
An outgoing Heart-centered operator that expands with warmth and inclusion.
A reflecting Heart-centered operator that contracts and constricts to maintain boundary, precision and limitation.
A balancing Heart-centered operator that juggle between contradicting forces in order to perform nicely and achieve excellence.
An outgoing Gut-centered operator that differentiate and manage time, roles and hierarchy.
A reflecting Gut-centered operator that celebrate and enjoy the existing without need to rearrange.
A Gut-centered operator 'on' mode balancer that connects, sustains, administers and boosts.
A Gut-centered 'off' mode balancer or cross-center operator that surrender, follows and manifest rather than act.
