From Attentional Collapse to Volitional Singularity: A Topological Model of Emotion as the Scalar Readout of Will

This paper proposes the Volitional-Affective Collapse (VAC) model, defining "Will" as a topological vector field collapse and "Emotion" as the resulting scalar energy dissipation. This framework provides a thermodynamic path toward artificial sentience.
