Emotional Diagnostics
Identity
Affective State Observation
Emotional Diagnostics observe emotional coherence, drift, saturation, and recovery as they appear in real conditions.
This node exists to make emotional state visible without interpretation or correction.
Emotional Diagnostics do not teach emotional control or expression. They reveal how emotion behaves under load, pressure, and activation.
Classification System
Diagnostic Instrument Suffixes
Diagnostics in CFIM360° are observational instruments. Each diagnostic declares how it must be interpreted through a functional suffix.
The suffix is not naming style. It is a constraint on interpretation.
A diagnostic must be read according to its suffix. Reading it outside that boundary produces error.
Scan
A snapshot observation of current system state.
Scans capture what is active now, without stimulation or pressure. They do not imply trend, direction, or outcome.
Test
An observation performed under a defined condition.
Tests introduce a controlled prompt or load and observe the system’s response. They do not evaluate success or failure.
Induction
A temporary state activation used to surface hidden dynamics.
Inductions intentionally evoke a condition, then observe emergence and decay. They do not attempt to sustain or optimize the induced state.
Window
A range-based observation of safe or stable operation.
Windows identify thresholds rather than targets. They describe limits, not goals.
Index
A composite observational indicator derived from multiple signals.
Indexes summarize patterns but do not rank or score. They are descriptive, not comparative.
Used sparingly.
Interpretation Constraints
Diagnostics in CFIM360° never use:
- scores
- grades
- levels
- rankings
- profiles
Those convert observation into judgment. Judgment is outside the scope of diagnostics.
Cross-Node Behavior
Some diagnostic entities may appear across multiple nodes without a fixed suffix.
In such cases:
the node determines interpretation not the diagnostic name itself
Context governs behavior.
Emotional Coherence Induction
Affective State Activation Observation
The Emotional Coherence Induction is a temporary activation used to observe how emotional states behave when brought into presence.
It exists to reveal whether emotional energy stabilizes, fragments, or saturates when active, without interpreting content or meaning.
This induction does not work with emotion as narrative. It observes emotion as system behavior.
What This Induction Observes
The Emotional Coherence Induction observes:
- alignment or fragmentation of emotional state during activation
- stability or amplification of emotional energy
- internal regulation while emotion is present
- recovery behavior once activation subsides
The induction observes behavior, not which emotion is present.
What This Induction Does Not Observe
The Emotional Coherence Induction does not observe:
- emotional positivity or negativity
- emotional expression or suppression
- emotional maturity or correctness
- trauma content or history
- healing progress or release
Meaning is not analyzed. Only emotional coherence is observed.
Observation Posture
During the induction:
- emotion is allowed, not directed
- nothing is intensified or reduced
- nothing is corrected or interpreted
The observer remains present and non-interfering.
Emotion is watched as a moving system, not as personal content.
Output Nature
The induction produces descriptive observations such as:
- emotionally coherent
- emotionally fragmented
- emotionally saturated
- emotionally unstable
- indeterminate
These observations do not imply outcome, action, or identity.
Temporal Scope
The Emotional Coherence Induction is:
- temporary
- non-progressive
- non-repeatable by force
- not intended for tracking
Once emotional behavior becomes visible, the induction ends.
Relationship to Other Diagnostics
This induction:
- follows the Inner Coherence Scan
- may precede cognitive or somatic diagnostics
- must not be used during coupled-system diagnostics
It isolates emotional behavior intentionally.
Boundary Conditions
The Emotional Coherence Induction never:
- attempts emotional discharge
- seeks emotional depth
- forces clarity or resolution
- functions as therapy or healing
If emotional release is pursued, observation has exceeded scope.
Canonical Statement
The Emotional Coherence Induction is complete when emotional behavior becomes visible without interpretation.
No action is required. No meaning is assigned.
The induction ends with visibility, not resolution.
