Core Emotion Framework (CEF): Technical Specification 11 (TS-11)
Abstract
The Core Emotion Framework (CEF) Technical Specification 11 (TS-11) defines the canonicalfacet-level architecture of the ten core emotional operators. Whereas TS-1 establishesoperator mechanics, TS-2 defines validation logic, TS-3 specifies computational structures,TS-4 defines simulation protocols, TS-5 governs interoperability, and TS-6 establishes thestructural-constructivist mapping engine, TS-11 introduces the internal functionaldecomposition of each operator into five facets.TS-11 provides the authoritative structural definition of the internal architecture of Sensing,Calculating, Deciding, Expanding, Constricting, Achieving, Arranging, Appreciating, Boosting,and Accepting. Each operator is defined by a core function and a five-facet decompositionthat preserves identity, prevents conceptual drift, and enables consistent use acrosscomputational, clinical, linguistic, and analytic contexts.TS-11 is the canonical reference for all facet-level work in the CEF canon and serves as thestructural foundation for TS-7 (Structural Psychopathology), TS-8 (NeurodiversityCalibration), TS-10 (Therapeutic Structural Disassembly), and the EL-Series global emotionallexicon.
