Emotion as Signal, Not as Command: A Conceptual Note within the Theory of Fundamental Belief (TCF/TFB)

This working paper presents a conceptual note within the Theory of Fundamental Belief (TCF/TFB). It describes a functional observation regarding emotion: when emotion ceases to organize behavior and is repositioned as a signal of individual functioning rather than a command. The document focuses exclusively on individual functioning and does not propose techniques, therapeutic methods, or intervention protocols. It aims to formally register a specific conceptual point of the (TCF/TFB), separating emotion from behavioral control and emphasizing its role as informational rather than directive.
