Considerations

Emotion is defined
as sensory reaction and response of the human sensory apparatus, to present stimulation or recall in the memory, in which the reaction is altered by association pertaining to Consequence. Her dog dies and she suffers immense emotional trauma. The dog was of not much Consequence to her friend, who suffers no emotional trauma.

Emotion is the exhibit of sensory response in which association of consequential value alters and exaggerates the sensory reaction. He lost a lot of money. She gained a lot of money. If money is of Consequence, likely in either case, major emotional reaction.

On the other hand when sensory reaction and response reflect the natural and direct affects upon the sensory apparatus and is not affected by associative Consequential Value, it is called Natural Affection. A hold-up was in progress on the street and he dispassionately sat down to watch.

The individual emotional system is the associational structure of what is of Consequence to the given individual, thus varying emotional reactions to the same circumstance as Consequence applies. The president died, and one cared and another did not. Emotion it would be said, parallels the individual's system of Consequential values. The greater the Consequence the greater the emotional exuberance as the difference between a loved one and a distant friend, in which the first instance is of more Consequence than the second.

If associative Consequence is the primary factor which defines Emotion, then Consequence as what and how it is derived would seem of import. Money is a universal consequential value. A situation everyone is born of after the advent of Excess and Profit. One's family, one's loved ones, one's friends, one's work all of more or less Consequence, and all of which would affect the individual emotionally.

It would be conjectured that the Progressive Evaluative System of oppositional opposites, as a scale of One, as no to little Consequence, to the highest Consequence as Ten, may be deemed to affect the emotional system associationally. In fact hatred as an Emotion would be associated with the bottom of the scale and love with the top. "Cambridge student burns £20 note in front of homeless man, expelled from Tory society." Loved at the top no more.

At the bottom low-end of the scale of the Progressive Evaluative System would be Necessity and Subsistence and at the top of the scale, would be Excess and Profit or emotional materialism. Non-profit or socialism at the bottom of the scale and greatest profit possible, at the top-end as capitalism.

Of Indigenous culture pre-advent of Excess and Profit, the natural world would be the heart of Consequence and thus the emotional system would reflect this consequential emphasis, quite naturally a love of nature, in which both the Ego as the first personality and bulwark of the body, and the Identities as personality objective achievers, would share the same Consequence integral.

With the advent of Excess and Profit and the resultant Materialism which must ensue, from the exploitation of natural resources for profit, the emotional system would of course change, and the natural as revered would become mundane and inconsequential. Consequence would become products made for profit, and so thus an accordant change would seem more than plausible in what is defined as the human emotional system.

With Excess and Profit comes a plethora of Identities as objectives to be produced, each of which is contained of its own Consequence, from blue collar hands-on, delivery, doctors, lawyers, educators and wherein the economies are based of Excess and Profit, the Identities would seem certainly to be Materialist.

Material of course as resource would be at the bottom of the Progressive Evaluative scale while profit produced from resource would be at the top. The less profit the individual makes, the lower on the scale as Consequence, and thus generally negative emotion and low self-esteem. The more profit the more grand the Consequence and high emotional thumbs up.

The Ego as first personality and defender of the body, a non-profit sort of seeming, for what can profit give the body but fat and sloth, and would occupy the bottom of the scale. Whereas Identities in pursuit of profit would be higher up on the scale of the emotional consequential calibration.

Varying Identities of which the average individual may have a half dozen, could each be possessed of a somewhat different set of consequential considerations, and thus emotion might be conflictive of the Ego and various of the other Identities. Husband, father, failure, gambler, progressive pie in the sky, loser. Has it all - great wife and kids, but thinks Elysium is to win the big gamble.

Thus it would seem one could change one's emotional content by changing one's consequential values.
