Core Emotion Framework (CEF): Technical Specification 8 (TS-8)

The Core Emotion Framework (CEF) Technical Specification 8 (TS-8) defines thecanonical neurodiversity calibration architecture of the CEF. Whereas TS-1 establishesoperator mechanics, TS-2 defines validation logic, TS-3 specifies computationalstructures, TS-4 defines simulation protocols, TS-5 governs interoperability, TS-6defines the mapping engine, TS-7 defines structural psychopathology, and TS-11defines the internal facet architecture of operators, TS-8 introduces the formal rulesgoverning individual differences in emotional activation.TS-8 does not describe personality types, clinical traits, or diagnostic categories.Instead, it defines the structural parameters through which individuals differ inoperator thresholds, facet sensitivity, activation ranges, transition probabilities, andcenter-level weighting. These parameters constitute the canonical neurodiversitylayer of the CEF and provide the foundation for personalized modeling, traitcalibration, and individual-difference analysis.TS-8 is the authoritative reference for neurodiversity within the CEF canon and servesas the structural foundation for TS-9 (Synthetic Affect & INTIMA) and TS-10(Therapeutic Structural Disassembly).
