Core Emotion Framework (CEF): Technical Specification 7 (TS-7)

The Core Emotion Framework (CEF) Technical Specification 7 (TS-7) defines thecanonical structural psychopathology architecture of the CEF. Whereas TS-1establishes operator mechanics, TS-2 defines validation logic, TS-3 specifiescomputational structures, TS-4 defines simulation protocols, TS-5 governsinteroperability, TS-6 defines the mapping engine, and TS-11 defines the internalfacet architecture of operators, TS-7 introduces the formal structural patterns ofdysregulation within the CEF.TS-7 does not describe clinical syndromes, diagnoses, or symptom clusters. Instead, itdefines the structural configurations of emotional dysregulation: chronic fusion,suppression, rigidity, collapse, overflow, fragmentation, and center-level imbalance.These patterns are defined at the architecture level and serve as the canonicalfoundation for clinical mapping (TS-10), neurodiversity calibration (TS-8), and theEL-Series lexicon.TS-7 is the authoritative reference for structural psychopathology within the CEFcanon.
